Iron oxide cluster cations, Fe(n)O(m)(+), are produced by laser vaporization in a pulsed nozzle cluster source and detected with time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The mass spectrum exhibits a limited number of stoichiometries for each value of n, where m > or = n. The cluster cations are mass selected and photodissociated using the second (532 nm) or third (355 nm) harmonic of a Nd:YAG laser. At either wavelength, multiple photon absorption is required to dissociate these clusters, which is consistent with their expected strong bonding. Cluster dissociation occurs via elimination of molecular oxygen, or by fission processes producing stable cation species. For clusters with n < 6, oxygen elimination proceeds until a terminal stoichiometry of n = m is reached. Clusters with this 1:1 stoichiometry do not eliminate oxygen, but rather undergo fission, producing smaller (FeO)n(+) species. The decomposition of larger clusters produces a variety of product cations, but those with the 1:1 stoichiometry are always the most prominent and these same species are produced repeatedly from different parent ions. These combined results establish that species of the form (FeO)n(+) have the greatest stability throughout these small iron oxide clusters.  相似文献

Infrared (IR) vibrational spectroscopy of acetic acid (A) neutral and ionic monomers and clusters, employing vacuum ultraviolet (VUV), 10.5 eV single photon ionization of supersonically expanded and cooled acetic acid samples, is presented and discussed. Molecular and cluster species are identified by time of flight mass spectroscopy: the major mass features observed are A(n)H(+) (n=1-9), ACOOH(+) (VUV ionization) without IR radiation present, and A(+) with both IR and VUV radiation present. The intense feature ACOOH(+) arises from the cleavage of (A)(2) at the beta-CC bond to generate ACOOH(+)+CH(3) following ionization. The vibrational spectrum of monomeric acetic acid (2500-7500 cm(-1)) is measured by nonresonant ionization detected infrared (NRID-IR) spectroscopy. The fundamentals and overtones of the CH and OH stretches and some combination bands are identified in the spectrum. Mass selected IR spectra of neutral and cationic acetic acid clusters are measured in the 2500-3800 cm(-1) range employing nonresonant ionization dip-IR and IR photodissociation (IRPD) spectroscopies, respectively. Characteristic bands observed at approximately 2500-2900 cm(-1) for the cyclic ring dimer are identified and tentatively assigned. For large neutral acetic acid clusters A(n)(n>2), spectra display only hydrogen bonded OH stretch features, while the CH modes (2500-2900 cm(-1)) do not change with cluster size n. The IRPD spectra of protonated (cationic) acetic acid clusters A(n)H(+) (n=1-7) exhibit a blueshift of the free OH stretch with increasing n. These bands finally disappear for n> or =6, and one broad and weak band due to hydrogen bonded OH stretch vibrations at approximately 3350 cm(-1) is detected. These results indicate that at least one OH group is not involved in the hydrogen bonding network for the smaller (n< or =5) A(n)H(+) species. The disappearance of the free OH stretch feature at n> or =6 suggests that closed cyclic structures form for A(n)H(+) for the larger clusters (n> or =6).  相似文献

Infrared multiple photon dissociation spectra for size-selected water cluster anions (H2O)(n)(-), n=15-50, are presented covering the frequency range of 560-1820 cm(-1). The cluster ions are trapped and cooled by collisions with ambient He gas at 20 K, with the goal of defining the cluster temperature better than in previous investigations of these species. Signal is seen in two frequency regions centered around 700 and 1500-1650 cm(-1), corresponding to water librational and bending motions, respectively. The bending feature associated with a double-acceptor water molecule binding to the excess electron is clearly seen up to n=35, but above n=25; this feature begins to blueshift and broadens, suggesting a more delocalized electron binding motif for the larger clusters in which the excess electron interacts with multiple water molecules.  相似文献

The rotational spectrum of the cyclic (HCl)(2)H(2)O cluster has been identified for the first time in the chirped pulse, Fourier transform microwave spectrum of a supersonically expanded HCl/H(2)O/Ar mixture. The spectrum was measured at frequencies 6-18.5 GHz, and transitions in two inversion-tunneling states, at close to 1?:?3 relative intensity, have been assigned for the parent species. The two single (37)Cl isotopic species, and the double (37)Cl species have been assigned in the natural abundance sample, and the (18)O and HDO species of the cluster were identified in isotopically enriched samples. The rich nuclear quadrupole hyperfine structure due to the presence of two chlorine nuclei has been satisfactorily fitted and provided useful information on the nonlinearity of intermolecular bonds in the cluster. The r(s) heavy atom geometry of the cluster was determined and the strongest bond in the intermolecular cycle r(O···HCl) = 3.126(3) ?, is found to be intermediate in length between the values in H(2)O···HCl and (H(2)O)(2)HCl. The fitted spectroscopic constants and derived molecular properties are compared with ab initio predictions, and a discussion of complexation effects in these three clusters is made.  相似文献

Two-color (1 + 1') REMPI mass spectra of o-, m- and p-fluorophenol.ammonia (1 ration) clusters were measured with a long delay time between excitation and ionization lasers. The appearance of NH(4)(NH(3))(n-1)(+) with 100 ns delay after exciting the S(1) state is a strong indication of generation of long-lived species via S(1). In analogy with the phenol.ammonia clusters, we conclude that an excited state hydrogen transfer reaction occurs in o-, m- and p-fluorophenol.ammonia clusters. The S(1)-S(0) transition of o-, m- and p-fluorophenol.ammonia (1 : 1) clusters were measured by the (1 + 1') REMPI spectra, while larger (1 ration) cluster (n = 2-4) were observed by monitoring the long-lived NH(4)(NH(3))(n-1) clusters action spectra. The vibronic structures of m- and p-fluorophenol.ammonia clusters are assigned based on vibrational calculations in S(0). The o-fluorophenol.ammonia (1 : 1) cluster shows an anharmonic progression that is analyzed by a one-dimensional internal rotational motion of the ammonia molecule. The interaction between the ammonia molecule and the fluorine atom, and its change upon electronic excitation are suggested. The broad action spectra observed for the o-fluorophenol.ammonia (1 : n) cluster (n>== 2) suggest the excited state hydrogen transfer is faster than in m- and p-fluorophenol.ammonia clusters. The different reaction rates between o-, m- and p-fluorophenol.ammonia clusters are found from comparison between the REMPI and action spectra.  相似文献

A direct ab initio molecular dynamics method has been applied to a water monomer and water clusters (H(2)O)(n) (n = 1-3) to elucidate the effects of zero-point energy (ZPE) vibration on the absorption spectra of water clusters. Static ab initio calculations without ZPE showed that the first electronic transitions of (H(2)O)(n), (1)B(1)←(1)A(1), are blue-shifted as a function of cluster size (n): 7.38 eV (n = 1), 7.58 eV (n = 2) and 8.01 eV (n = 3). The inclusion of the ZPE vibration strongly affects the excitation energies of a water dimer, and a long red-tail appears in the range of 6.42-6.90 eV due to the structural flexibility of a water dimer. The ultraviolet photodissociation of water clusters and water ice surfaces is relevant to these results.  相似文献

We calculate the photoelectron spectrum of small mono-niobium carbide clusters (NbC(n)) using density functional theory for clusters with n = 2-7 and the symmetry adapted cluster configuration interaction method for the smallest clusters (n = 2-4). Theoretical spectra of a single structure cannot explain all peaks present in the spectrum measured by Zhai et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 115, 5170 (2001)]. However, we can match all peaks in the experimental spectra if we assume that the beam contains a combination of cyclic and linear structures. This finding is even more surprising given the fact that some of the excited metastable geometries have energies as large as 0.5 eV above the ground state. Our result is confirmed by both theoretical approaches. We suggest further experiments, using additional beam cooling, to corroborate this observation.  相似文献

The ultrafast dynamics of clusters of trans-azobenzene anion (A-) solvated by oxygen molecules was investigated using femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. The time scale for stripping off all oxygen molecules from A- was determined by monitoring in real time the transient of the A- rise, following an 800 nm excitation of A- (O2)n, where n = 1-4. A careful analysis of the time-dependent photoelectron spectra strongly suggests that for n > 1 a quasi-O4 core is formed and that the dissociation occurs by a bond cleavage between A- and conglomerated (O2)n rather than a stepwise evaporation of O2. With time and energy resolutions, we were able to capture the photoelectron signatures of transient species which instantaneously rise (<100 fs) then decay. The transient species are assigned as charge-transfer complexes: A.O2- for A- O2 and A.O4-(O2)n-2 for A-(O2)n, where n = 2-4. Subsequent to an ultrafast electron recombination, A- rises with two distinct time scales: a subpicosecond component reflecting a direct bond rupture of the A- -(O2)n nuclear coordinate and a slower component (1.6-36 ps, increasing with n) attributed to an indirect channel exhibiting a quasistatistical behavior. The photodetachment transients exhibit a change in the transition dipole direction as a function of time delay. Rotational dephasing occurs on a time scale of 2-3 ps, with a change in the sign of the transient anisotropy between A- O2 and the larger clusters. This behavior is a key indicator of an evolving cluster structure and is successfully modeled by calculations based on the structures and inertial motion of the parent clusters.  相似文献

Chromium oxide cluster cations, Cr(n)O(m)+, are produced by laser vaporization in a pulsed nozzle cluster source and detected with time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The mass spectrum exhibits a limited number of stoichiometries for each value of n, where m > n. The cluster cations are mass selected and photodissociated using the second (532 nm) or third (355 nm) harmonic output of a Nd:YAG laser. At either wavelength, multiphoton absorption is required to dissociate these clusters, which is consistent with their expected strong bonding. Cluster dissociation occurs via elimination of molecular oxygen, or by fission processes producing stable cation species and/or eliminating stable neutrals such as CrO3, Cr(2)O(5), or Cr(4)O(10). Specific cation clusters identified to be stable because they are produced repeatedly in the decomposition of larger clusters include Cr(2)O(4)+, Cr(3)O(6)+, Cr(3)O(7)+, Cr(4)O(9)+, and Cr(4)O(10)+.  相似文献

The first gas-phase infrared spectra of silicon monoxide cations (SiO)(n)(+), n = 3-5, using multiple photon dissociation in the 550-1250 cm(-1) frequency range, are reported. All clusters studied here fragment via loss of a neutral SiO unit. The experimental spectra are compared to simulated linear absorption spectra from calculated low energy isomers for each cluster. This analysis indicates that a "ring" isomer is the primary contributor to the (SiO)(3)(+) spectrum, that the (SiO)(4)(+) spectrum results from two close-lying bicyclic ring isomers, and that the (SiO)(5)(+) spectrum is from a bicyclic ring with a central, fourfold-coordinated Si atom. Experiment and theory indicate that the energies and energetic orderings of (SiO)(n)(+) isomers differ from those for neutral (SiO)(n) clusters.  相似文献

The vibrational spectrum of molecular propanoic acid, cooled in a supersonic expansion, in the region of 2500 to 7500 cm(-1) is obtained employing infrared plus vacuum ultraviolet nonresonant ionization detected spectroscopy. The fundamental and first overtone of the CH and OH stretch modes of cold propanoic acid molecules can be identified in the spectrum. Propanoic acid neutral and ionic clusters are also studied employing nonresonant ion dip and photodissociation spectroscopic techniques, respectively. For the neutral dimer, a sequence of features observed at ca. 2500-2700 cm(-1) can be assigned as combination bands of low frequency modes with the COH bending overtone; these features characterize the cyclic dimer ring structure. IR spectra of the larger neutral clusters n=3, 4, 5 indicate that they also have cyclic structures in which the OH groups are engaged in the cluster hydrogen bonding network. The CH groups are not involved in this hydrogen bonding structure. Free OH features are observed for the protonated ion clusters (C(2)H(5)COOH)(n)H(+), n=1,...,5, indicating that at least one OH group of these cluster ions is not involved in the cluster hydrogen bonding network. A comparison of the results for four hydrogen bonding neutral and ionic clusters (CH(3)OH, C(2)H(5)OH, CH(3)COOH, and C(2)H(5)COOH) is presented and discussed.  相似文献

We present new observations of the infrared (IR) spectrum of neutral methanol and neutral and protonated methanol clusters employing IR plus vacuum ultraviolet (vuv) spectroscopic techniques. The tunable IR light covers the energy ranges of 2500-4500 cm(-1) and 5000-7500 cm(-1). The CH and OH fundamental stretch modes, the OH overtone mode, and combination bands are identified in the vibrational spectrum of supersonic expansion cooled methanol (2500-7500 cm(-1)). Cluster size selected IR plus vuv nonresonant infrared ion-dip infrared spectra of neutral methanol clusters, (CH(3)OH)(n) (n=2,[ellipsis (horizontal)],8), demonstrate that the methanol dimer has free and bonded OH stretch features, while clusters larger than the dimer display only hydrogen bonded OH stretch features. CH stretch mode spectra do not change with cluster size. These results suggest that all clusters larger than the dimer have a cyclic structure with OH groups involved in hydrogen bonding. CH groups are apparently not part of this cyclic binding network. Studies of protonated methanol cluster ions (CH(3)OH)(n)H(+) n=1,[ellipsis (horizontal)],7 are performed by size selected vuv plus IR photodissociation spectroscopy in the OH and CH stretch regions. Energies of the free and hydrogen bonded OH stretches exhibit blueshifts with increasing n, and these two modes converge to approximately 3670 and 3400 cm(-1) at cluster size n=7, respectively.  相似文献

A picosecond time-resolved IR-UV pump-probe spectroscopic study has been carried out for investigating the intracluster vibrational energy redistribution (IVR) and subsequent dissociation of hydrogen-bonded clusters of phenol (C6H5OH) and partially deuterated phenol (C6D5OH, phenol-d5) with various solvent molecules. The H-bonded OH stretching vibration was pumped by a picosecond IR pulse, and the transient S1-S0 UV spectra from the pumped level as well as the redistributed levels were observed with a picosecond UV laser. Two types of hydrogen-bonded clusters were investigated with respect to the effect of the H-bonding strength on the energy flow process: the first is of a strong "sigma-type H-bond" such as phenol-(dimethyl ether)(n=1) and phenol dimer, and the second is phenol-(ethylene)(n=1) having a weak "pi-type H-bond." It was found that the population of the IR-pumped OH level exhibits a single-exponential decay, whose rate increases with the H-bond strength. On the other hand, the transient UV spectrum due to the redistributed levels showed a different time evolutions at different monitoring UV frequency. From an analysis of the time profiles of the transient UV spectra, the following three-step scheme has been proposed for describing the energy flow starting from the IVR of the initially excited H-bonded OH stretching level to the dissociation of the H bond. (1) The intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution takes place within the phenolic site, preparing a hot phenol. (2) The energy flows from the hot phenol to the intermolecular vibrational modes of the cluster. (3) Finally, the hydrogen bond dissociates. Among the three steps, the rate constant of the first step was strongly dependent on the H-bond strength, while the rate constants of the other two steps were almost independent of the H-bond strength. For the dissociation of the hydrogen bond, the observed rate constants were compared with those calculated by the Rice, Ramsperger, Kassel, and Marcus model. The result suggests that dissociation of the hydrogen bond takes place much faster than complete energy randomization within the clusters.  相似文献

The changes in nature and order of the excited electronic states of the photosensitizer [Ir(ppy)(2)(bpy)](+) upon binding to small silver clusters, Ag(n) (n = 1-6), were studied theoretically using the linear response TDDFT method with the range-separated LC-BLYP functional. Binding energies and localization of HOMO and LUMO orbitals are found to oscillate with the number of silver atoms. Special emphasis is put on the discussion of long-range charge transfer transitions between the photosensitizer and the silver cluster. The energies of these transitions were found to be only slightly dependent on the relative orientations of both fragments, but strongly dependent on the intermolecular distance. The absorption spectrum of the combined system does not show a systematic trend with respect to cluster size, but it is strongly modified by the charge transfer transitions. Possible photophysical processes of the systems containing larger clusters are discussed.  相似文献

The vibrational spectroscopy of the electronically closed-shell (Al 2O 3) n (AlO) (+) cations with n = 1-4 is studied in the 530-1200 cm (-1) range by infrared predissociation spectroscopy of the corresponding ion-He atom complexes in combination with quantum chemical calculations. In all cases we find, assisted by a genetic algorithm, global minimum structures that differ considerably from those derived from known modifications of bulk alumina. The n = 1 and n = 4 clusters exhibit an exceptionally stable conical structure of C 3 v symmetry, whereas for n = 2 and n = 3, multiple isomers of lower symmetry and similar energy may contribute to the recorded spectra. A blue shift of the highest energy absorption band is observed with increasing cluster size and attributed to a shortening of Al-O bonds in the larger clusters. This intense band is assigned to vibrational modes localized on the rim of the conical structures for n = 1 and n = 4 and may aid in identifying similar, highly symmetric structures in larger ions.  相似文献

The mass spectra of diacylglycerophosphocholine phospholipids comprised of saturated fatty acids (1,2-dipentanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (D5PC); 1,2-dihexanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (D6PC), and 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (D14PC)) are sensitive to the electrospray ionization (ESI) conditions. When fresh solutions of phospholipid in 10 mM ammonium acetate are subjected to ESI, protonated oligomeric clusters, [DxPCn + H]+ (x = 5, 6, and 14) are observed in the following different types of mass spectrometers: 3D-quadrupole ion trap; linear ion trap, and triple quadrupole. The formation of the protonated cluster ions is not unique to the ion trap instruments, although they tend to be more abundant in these instruments. As the ESI solutions age, new ions are observed, which correspond to acid-catalyzed solution phase deacylation reactions. The collision induced dissociation fragmentation reactions of the oligomer cluster ions exhibit a distinct dependence on the cluster size, with the larger clusters (n > 2) simply fragmenting via the loss of lipid monomers. In contrast, the fragmentation of the dimeric cluster ion is unique, resulting in a number of additional reactions including covalent bond formation via intermolecular cluster SN2 reactions and SN2 transfer of a methyl group. The nature of the charge has a significant role in the formation of products via these intermolecular cluster reactions. Changing the head group to phosphoethanolamine "switches off" the SN2 reactions, while changing the cation from a proton to either a sodium or a potassium ion, diminishes the intermolecular reactions relative to monomer loss. Semi empirical PM3 calculations on [D6PC2 + H]+ suggest that the SN2 reactions are thermodynamically favored over simple monomer loss. These results have important implications in the field of lipidomics.  相似文献

Noble metal carbide cluster cations (MC(n)(+), M = Cu, Au) are produced by laser vaporization in a pulsed molecular beam and detected with time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Copper favors the formation of carbides with an odd number of carbon atoms, while gold shows marked drops in ion intensity after clusters with 3, 6, 9, and 12 carbons. These clusters are mass selected and photodissociated at 355 nm. Copper carbides with an odd number of carbons fragment by eliminating the metal from the cluster; for the small species it is eliminated as Cu(+) and for the larger species it is lost as neutral Cu. Copper carbides with an even number of carbons also lose the metal, but in addition to this they eliminate neutral C(3). This even-odd alternation, with the even clusters having mixed fragments, holds true for clusters as large as CuC(30)(+). No loss of C(2) is observed for even the largest clusters studied, indicating that fullerene formation does not occur. The gold carbide photodissociation data closely parallel that of copper, with even clusters losing primarily C(3) and odd ones losing gold. Comparisons to known carbon cluster ionization potentials give some insight into the structures of carbon photofragments. DFT calculations performed on CuC(3-11)(+) allow comparisons of the energetics of isomers likely present in our experiment, and metal-carbon dissociation energies help explain the even-odd alternation in the fragmentation channels. The simplest picture of these metal-doped carbides consistent with all the data is that the small species have linear chain structures with the metal attached at the end, whereas the larger species have cyclic structures with the metal attached externally to a single carbon.  相似文献

The photoionization of enantiomerically pure epichlorohydrin (C(3)H(5)OCl) has been studied using linearly and circularly polarized vacuum ultraviolet synchrotron radiation. The threshold photoelectron spectrum was recorded and the first three bands assigned using molecular orbital calculations for the expected conformers, although uncertain experimental conformer populations and an anticipated breakdown in Koopmans' theorem leave some ambiguity. Measurements of the photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) were obtained across a range of photon energies for each of these bands, using electron velocity map imaging to record the angular distributions, during which a record PECD chiral asymmetry factor of 32% was observed. A comparison with calculated PECD curves clarifies the assignment achieved using ionization energies alone and further suggests a likely relative population of the conformers. Threshold photoelectron-photoion coincidence methods were used to study the ionic fragmentation of epichlorohydrin. Fragment ion appearance energies show nonstatistical behavior with clear indications that the cationic epoxide ring is unstable and lower energy decay channels proceeding via ring breaking are generally open. Extensive neutral homochiral clusters of epichlorohydrin may be formed in supersonic molecular beam expansions seeded in Ar. Electron angular distribution measurements made in coincidence with dimer and trimer ions are used to effect an examination of the PECD associated with ionization of size-selected neutral cluster species, and these results differ clearly from PECD of the neutral monomer. The shifted ionization thresholds of the n-mers (n = 2, ..., 7) are shown to follow a simple linear relationship, but under intense beam expansion conditions the monomer deviates from this relationship, and the monomer electron spectra tail to below the expected monomer adiabatic ionization potential (IP). PECD measurements made in coincidence with monomer ions obtained under different beam expansion conditions were used to identify unambiguously a contribution from dissociative photoionization of larger clusters to the monomer parent mass ion yield above and below its adiabatic IP.  相似文献
