title: Counterintuitive influence of protonation on radical-anion photoionization.
abstract: Protonation of a radical anion M(·-) greatly facilitates its green-light photoionization despite much less favorable energetics for the resulting ketyl radical MH(·). The state symmetry of the radical species absorbing the ionizing photon might provide an explanation.
