Abstract

Abstract: The front cover artwork is provided by Prof. György Tarczay (Eötvös University) and the group of Prof. Ralf I. Kaiser (University of Hawaii). The background computer‐generated image (provided by Gerd Altmann, Freiburg, Germany) is mimicking an interstellar object, in the front the Keck machine, a 3D mass spectrum used for identification, and the silylketene molecule are displayed. The cover art was prepared by László Lénárd (Eötvös University). Read the full text of the article at10.1002/cphc.201601422 . Abstract : "Exploiting photoionization reflectron time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry combined with electronic structure calculations, it is shown that the hitherto elusive silylketene molecule is forming via interaction of energetic electrons with low‐temperature silane–carbon monoxide ices…" This and more about the story behind the front cover can be found in the Full Paper at10.1002/cphc.201601422 .
