Most of the matter in our solar system, and, probably, within the
whole universe, exists in the form of ionized particles. On the
other hand, in our natural environ ment, gaseous matter generally
consists of neutral atoms and molecules. Only under certain
conditions, such as within the path oflightning or in several
technical devices (e. g. gas discharges, rocket engines, etc. )
will some of the atoms and molecules be ionized. It is also
believed that the chemistry of the earth's troposphere predomi
nantly proceeds via reactions between neutral particles. (The
complex system of atmospheric chemistry will be treated in one of
the forthcoming volumes to this series. ) Why, then, are ions
considered so important that hundreds oflaboratories all over the
world (including some of the most prestigious) are involved in
research pro grams on ions, covering many different facets, from
biochemistry to physics? One may obtain as many different answers
as there are research groups busy in this field. There is, however,
one simple, common feature which makes it attractive to work with
ions: since they carry one or more net elementary charges, they can
easily be gui ded, focused or separated by appropriate electric and
magnetic fields, and, last but not least, they can easily be
detected. Apart from these advantages, which are welcome and
appreciated by the researcher, the study of molecular ions can
provide insight into very fundamental aspects of the general
behavior of molecules."
