abstract
The ability of separate ion-orbit coupled states of rare gas ions (Kr+ and Xe+) based on different interaction potentials with helium is demonstrated. It is emphasized that extending this ability to transition metals and other atomic species will provide state-specific information on ion reactivity covering a time-scale not assessable with current instruments.
