In this Thesis I have summarized our recent research of free clusters and nanoparticles generated by the molecular beam techniěue in vacuum and investigated by various laser spectroscopic and mass spectrometric methods. The clusters and nanoparticles are of great fundamental interest, since they can provide the link between the individual molecules and the bulk material composed of these molecules by investigating physical and chemical properties as a function of cluster size, ultimately resulting in understanding the transition from the molecule, to the bulk. The work in the field of clusters and nanoparticles in general is relevant to solid state, molecular, atomic and even nuclear physics and chemistry and has practical implications for many areas, e.g., nanoparticles, surface science, catalysis, environmental studies, biology or even medicine.
