I wonder what is the technique that measure ionization potential for molecular systems experimentally ?

The Ionization Potential of a molecule is the minimum amount of energy required to remove an electron from a neutral molecule, resulting in the formation of a positive ion.
Ionization Potential is typically measured in electron volts (eV) or kilojoules per mole (kJ/mol) using specialized equipment such as mass spectrometers or electron impact ionization detectors.
The Ionization Potential of a molecule can be influenced by several factors, including the size and charge of the molecule, the electronic configuration of the molecule, and the presence of other atoms or molecules nearby.
Ionization Potential plays a crucial role in understanding the reactivity and behavior of molecules in chemical reactions. It can also provide information about the electronic structure and stability of molecules.
Ionization Potential is used in a variety of practical applications, including the analysis of complex mixtures in mass spectrometry, the identification of unknown compounds, and the development of new materials with specific properties based on their electronic structure.
