AB  - The understanding of molecular structure and function is at the very heart of the chemical and molecular sciences. Experiments that allow for the creation of structurally pure samples and the investigation of their molecular dynamics and chemical function have developed tremendeously over the last few decades, although "there’s plenty of room at the bottom" for better control as well as further applications.Here, we describe the use of inhomogeneous electric fields for the manipulation of neutral molecules in the gas-phase, i. e., for the separation of complex molecules according to size, structural isomer, and quantum state. Current applications of these controlled samples are summarized and interesting future applications discussed.
