  abstract = {The conjugate base of para-coumaric acid, which can be conveniently generated in the gas phase by electrospray ionization (ESI), is a commonly used model system for the chromophore of the photoactive yellow protein. Here we report its gas phase IR spectrum, which shows that the anion easily adopts a carboxylate structure lying 60 kJ/mol higher in energy than the global minimum phenoxide structure. Generation of the biologically more relevant phenoxide isomer by ESI can be achieved using dry acetonitrile as solvent.},
