Cryo-SEVI experiments in our laboratory and elsewhere were reviewed in 2018. This perspective focuses on results obtained since then, with particular focus on the cryo-SEVI spectra of NO3¯, the hydrated metal oxide clusters TiO3H2¯ and ZrO2H2¯, and the transition state precursor anions H2CC¯ and F¯(NH3). In addition, a new experimental direction is discussed in which anions are pre-excited with an infrared (IR) laser prior to photodetachment. This IR cryo-SEVI experiment probes the effect of vibrational excitation on the anion photoelectron spectrum and provides a new means to measure the vibrational spectrum of a gas phase negative ion.
