What is it about?
It was proven that the sodium-doped formic acid clusters with different cluster sizes can be ionized with UV radiation which radiation energy is well below the first ionization potential through the autoionization phenomenon over the Rydberg excited states.

Why is it important?
It is clear evidence of the role of the Rydberg excited states in the ionization of sodium-doped formic acid clusters.
Perspectives
It can be a milestone in understanding the photochemical behaviour the small sodium-doped organic clusters.
