Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The CO radical anion (CO) has been formed by electrospraying carbonate dianion (CO) into the gas phase. The negative ion photoelectron (NIPE) spectrum of CO shows that, unlike the isoelectronic trimethylenemethane [C(CH)], D carbon trioxide (CO) has a singlet ground state. From the NIPE spectrum, the electron affinity of D singlet CO was, for the first time, directly determined to be EA = 4.06 ± 0.03 eV, and the energy difference between the D singlet and the lowest triplet was measured as ΔE = - 17.8 ± 0.9 kcal mol. B3LYP, CCSD(T), and CASPT2 calculations all find that the two lowest triplet states of CO are very close in energy, a prediction that is confirmed by the relative intensities of the bands in the NIPE spectrum of CO. The 560 cm vibrational progression, seen in the low energy region of the triplet band, enables the identification of the lowest, Jahn-Teller-distorted, triplet state as A, in which both unpaired electrons reside in σ MOs, rather than A, in which one unpaired electron occupies the b σ MO, and the other occupies the b π MO.
