H(D) Rydberg atom photofragment translational spectroscopy has been used to investigate the dynamics of H(D) atom loss C6H5SH(C6H5SD) following excitation at many wavelengths lambda phot in the range of 225-290 nm. The C6H5S cofragments are formed in both their ground (X(2)B1) and first excited ((2)B2) electronic states, in a distribution of vibrational levels that spreads and shifts to higher internal energies as lambda(phot) is reduced. Excitation at lambda(phot) > 275 nm populates levels of the first (1)pi pi* state, which decay by tunnelling to the dissociative (1)pi sigma* state potential energy surface (PES). S-H torsional motion is identified as a coupling mode facilitating population transfer at the conical intersection (CI) between the diabatic (1)pi pi* and (1)pi sigma* PESs. At shorter lambda(phot), the (1)pi sigma* state is deduced to be populated either directly or by efficient vibronic coupling from higher (1)pipi* states. Flux evolving on the (1)pi sigma* PES samples a second CI, at longer R(S-H), between the diabatic (1)pi sigma* and ground ((1)pi pi) PESs, where the electronic branching between ground and excited state C6H5S fragments is determined. The C6H5S(X(2)B1) and C6H5S((2)B2) products are deduced to be formed in levels with, respectively, a' and a' vibrational symmetry-behavior that reflects both Franck-Condon effects (both in the initial photoexcitation step and in the subsequent in-plane forces acting during dissociation) and the effects of the out-of-plane coupling mode(s), nu11 and nu16a, at the (1)pi sigma*/(1)pi pi CI. The vibrational state assignments enabled by the high-energy resolution of the present data allow new and improved estimations of the bond dissociation energies, D0(C6H5S-H) < or = 28,030 +/- 100 cm(-1) and D0(C6H5S-D) < or = 28,610 +/- 100 cm(-1), and of the energy separation between the X(2)B1 and (2)B2 states of the C6H5S radical, T(00) = 2800 +/- 40 cm(-1). Similarities, and differences, between the measured energy disposals accompanying UV photoinduced X-H (X = S, O) bond fission in thiophenol and phenol are discussed. 相似文献

The photodissociation dynamics of 2,5-dimethylpyrrole (2,5-DMP) has been investigated following excitation at 193.3 nm and at many near ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths in the range 244 < lambda(phot) < 282 nm using H Rydberg atom photofragment translational spectroscopy (PTS). Complementary UV absorption and, at the longest excitation wavelengths, one photon resonant multiphoton ionisation spectra of 2,5-DMP are reported also; analysis of the latter highlights the role of methyl torsional motions in promoting the parent absorption. The deduced fragmentation dynamics show parallels with that reported recently (B. Cronin, M. G. D. Nix, R. H. Qadiri and M. N. R. Ashfold, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2004, 6, 5031) for the bare pyrrole molecule. Excitation at the longer wavelengths leads to (vibronically induced) population of the 1(1)A(2)(pisigma*) excited state of 2,5-DMP, but once lambda(phot) decreases to approximately 250 nm stronger, dipole allowed transitions start to become apparent in the parent absorption. All total kinetic energy release (TKER) spectra of the H + 2,5-dimethylpyrrolyl (2,5-DMPyl) fragments measured at lambda(phot)> or=244 nm show a structured fast component, many of which are dominated by a peak with TKER approximately 5100 cm(-1); analysis of this structure reveals lambda(phot) dependent population of selected vibrational levels of 2,5-DMPyl, and enables determination of the N-H bond strength in 2,5-DMP: D(0) = 30 530 +/- 100 cm(-1). Two classes of behaviour are proposed to account for details of the observed energy partitioning. Both assume that N-H bond fission involves passage over (or tunnelling through) a small exit channel barrier on the 1(1)A(2) potential energy surface, but differ according to the vibrational energy content of the photo-prepared molecules. Specific parent out-of-plane skeletal modes that promote the 1(1)A(2)-X(1)A(1) absorption appear to evolve adiabatically into the corresponding vibrations of the 2,5-DMPyl products. Methyl torsions can also promote the 1(1)A(2)<-- X(1)A(1) absorption in 2,5-DMP, and provide a means of populating a much higher density of excited vibrational levels than in pyrrole. Such excited levels are deduced to dissociate by redistributing the minimum amount of internal energy necessary to overcome the exit channel barrier in the N-H dissociation coordinate. Coupling with the ground state surface via a conical intersection at extended N-H bond lengths is proposed as a further mechanism for modest translational --> vibrational energy transfer within the separating products. The parent absorption cross-section increases considerably at wavelengths approximately 250 nm, and PTS spectra recorded at lambda(phot)< or = 254 nm display a second, unstructured, peak at lower TKER. As in pyrrole, this slower component is attributed to H atoms from the unimolecular decay of highly vibrationally excited ground state molecules formed via radiationless decay from photo-excited states lying above the 1(1)A(2) state. 相似文献

Using the novel threshold photoelectron-photoion coincidence (TPEPICO) velocity imaging technique, the dissociative photoionization of N(2)O molecule via the C(2)Σ(+) ionic state has been investigated. Four fragment ions, NO(+), N(2)(+), O(+), and N(+), are observed, respectively, and the NO(+) and N(+) ions are always dominant in the whole excitation energy range of the C(2)Σ(+) ionic state. Subsequently, the TPEPICO three-dimensional time-sliced velocity images of NO(+) dissociated from the vibrational state-selected N(2)O(+)(C(2)Σ(+)) ions have been recorded. Thus the kinetic and internal energy distributions of the NO(+) fragments have been obtained directly as the bimodal distributions, suggesting that the NO(+) fragments are formed via both NO(+)(X(1)Σ(+)) + N((2)P) and NO(+)(X(1)Σ(+)) + N((2)D) dissociation channels. Almost the same vibrational population reversions are identified for both dissociation pathways. Interestingly, the obtained branching ratios of the two channels exhibit some dependence on the excited vibrational mode for N(2)O(+)(C(2)Σ(+)), in which the excited asymmetrical stretching potentially promotes dissociation possibility along the NO(+)(X(1)Σ(+)) + N((2)D) pathway. In addition, the measured anisotropic parameters of NO(+) are close to 0.5, indicating that the C(2)Σ(+) state of N(2)O(+) is fully predissociative, indeed, with a tendency of parallel dissociation, and therefore, the corresponding predissociation mechanisms for the N(2)O(+)(C(2)Σ(+)) ions are depicted. 相似文献

High resolution total kinetic energy release (TKER) spectra of the H atom fragments resulting from photodissociation of jet-cooled adenine molecules at 17 wavelengths in the range 280>lambda(phot)>214 nm are reported. TKER spectra obtained at lambda(phot)>233 nm display broad, isotropic profiles that peak at low TKER ( approximately 1800 cm(-1)) and are largely insensitive to the choice of excitation wavelength. The bulk of these products is attributed to unintended multiphoton dissociation processes. TKER spectra recorded at lambda(phot)相似文献

The fragmentation dynamics of imidazole molecules following excitation at 193.3 nm and at many wavelengths in the range of 210< or =lambda(phot)< or =240 nm have been investigated by H Rydberg atom photofragment translational spectroscopy. Long wavelength excitation within this range results in population of the 1 (1)A(")((1)pisigma(*)) excited state, but the 2 (1)A(')<--X (1)A(')(pi(*)<--pi) transition becomes the dominant absorption once lambda(phot)< or =220 nm. The measured energy disposals show parallels with those found in recent studies of the UV photolysis of pyrrole [Cronin et al., Phys Chem. Chem. Phys. 6, 5031 (2004)]. The total kinetic energy release (TKER) spectra display a "fast" feature, centred at TKER approximately 9200 cm(-1). The analysis of the structure evident in the fast feature reveals the selective population of specific in-plane stretching vibrational levels of the imidazolyl cofragment; these fragments are deduced to carry only modest amounts of rotational excitation. Comparison with calculated normal mode vibrational frequencies allows the assignment of the populated levels and a precise determination of the N-H bond strength in imidazole: D(0)=33,240+/-40 cm(-1). The observed energy disposal can be rationalized using Franck-Condon arguments, assuming that the potential energy surface (PES) for the 1 (1)A(")((1)pisigma(*)) state has a topology similar to that of the corresponding (1)pisigma(*) state of pyrrole. As in pyrrole, photoexcitation populates skeletal motions in the S(1) state (in-plane motions in the present case) that are only weakly coupled to the N-H dissociation coordinate and thus map through into the corresponding product vibrations. A second, "slow" feature is increasingly evident in TKER spectra recorded at shorter lambda(phot). This component, which exhibits no recoil anisotropy, is attributed to H atoms formed by the "statistical" decay of highly vibrationally excited ground state molecules. The form of the TKER spectra observed at short lambda(phot) is rationalized by assuming two possible decay routes for imidazole molecules excited to the 2 (1)A(')((1)pipi(*)) state. One involves fast 2 (1)A(')((1)pipi(*)) right arrow-wavy 1 (1)A(")((1)pisigma(*)) radiationless transfer and subsequent fragmentation on the 1 (1)A(')((1)pisigma(*)) PES, yielding fast H atoms (and imidazolyl cofragments)-reminiscent of behavior seen at longer excitation wavelengths where the 1 (1)A(")((1)pisigma(*)) PES is accessed directly. The second is assumed to involve radiationless transfer to the ground state, most probably by successive 2 (1)A(') right arrow-wavy 1 (1)A(") right arrow-wavy X (1)A(') couplings, mediated by conical intersections between the relevant PESs and the subsequent unimolecular decay of the resulting highly vibrationally excited ground state molecules yielding slow H atoms. 相似文献

The experimental techniques of H (Rydberg) atom photofragment translational spectroscopy and resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionisation time-of-flight spectroscopy have been used to investigate the dynamics of H atom loss processes from gas phase 4-fluorophenol (4-FPhOH), 4-chlorophenol (4-ClPhOH) and 4-bromophenol (4-BrPhOH) molecules, following excitation at many wavelengths, lambda(phot), in the range between their respective S(1)-S(0) origins (284.768 nm, 287.265 nm and 287.409 nm) and 216 nm. Many of the Total Kinetic Energy Release (TKER) spectra obtained from photolysis of 4-FPhOH show structure, the analysis of which reveals striking parallels with that reported previously for photolysis of bare phenol (M. G. D. Nix, A. L. Devine, B. Cronin, R. N. Dixon and M. N. R. Ashfold, J. Chem. Phys., 2006, 125, 133318). The data demonstrates the importance of O-H bond fission, and that the resulting 4-FPhO co-fragments are formed in a select fraction of their available vibrational state density. All spectra recorded at lambda(phot)> or = 238 nm show a feature centred at TKER approximately 5500 cm(-1). These H atom fragments show no recoil anisotropy, and are rationalised in terms of initial S(1)<-- S(0) (pi* <--pi) excitation and subsequent dissociation via two successive radiationless transitions: internal conversion to ground (S(0)) state levels carrying sufficient O-H stretch vibrational energy to allow efficient transfer to (and round) the Conical Intersection (CI) between the S(0) and S(2)((1)pi sigma*) Potential Energy Surfaces (PESs) at larger R(O-H), en route to H atoms and ground state 4-FPhO products. The vibrational energy disposal in the 4-FPhO products indicates that parent mode nu(16a) promotes non-adiabatic coupling at the S(0)/S(2) CI. Spectra recorded at lambda(phot)< or = 238 nm reveal a faster (but still isotropic) distribution of recoiling H atoms, centred at TKER approximately 12 000 cm(-1), attributable to H + 4-FPhO products formed when the optically excited (1)pi pi* molecules couple directly with the (1)pi sigma* PES. Parent mode nu(16b) is identified as the dominant coupling mode at the S(1)((1)pi pi*)/S(2)((1)pi sigma*) CI, and the resulting 4-FPhO radical co-fragments display progressions in nu(18b) (the C-O in-plane wagging mode) and nu(7a) (an in-plane ring breathing mode involving significant C-O stretching motion). Analysis of all structured TKER spectra yields a C-F bond dissociation energy: D(0)(H-OC(6)H(4)F) = 29 370 +/- 50 cm(-1). The photodissociation of 4-ClPhOH shows many similarities, though the 4-ClPhO products formed together with faster H atoms at shorter wavelengths (lambda(phot)< or = 238 nm, by coupling through the S(1)/S(2) CI) show activity in an alternative ring breathing mode (nu(19a) rather than nu(7a)). Spectral analysis yields D(0)(H-OC(6)H(4)Cl) = 29 520 +/- 50 cm(-1). H atom formation via O-H bond fission is (at best) a very minor channel in the photolysis of 4-BrPhOH at all wavelengths investigated. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations suggest that this low H atom yield is because of competition from the alternative C-Br bond fission channel, and that the analogous C-Cl bond fission may be responsible for the weakness of the one photon-induced H atom signals observed when photolysing 4-ClPhOH at longer wavelengths. 相似文献

DCl(+)(X (2)Pi(32),v(+")=0) cations have been prepared by 2+1 resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization, and their subsequent fragmentation following excitation at numerous wavelengths in the range of 240-350 nm studied by velocity map imaging of the resulting Cl(+) products. This range of excitation wavelengths allows selective population of A (2)Sigma(+) state levels with all vibrational (v(+')) quantum numbers in the range 0< or =v(+')< or =15. Image analysis yields wavelength dependent branching ratios and recoil anisotropies of the various D+Cl(+) ((3)P(J), (1)D, and (1)S) product channels. Levels with 10< or =v(+')< or =15 have sufficient energy to predissociate, forming D+Cl(+)((3)P(J)) products with perpendicular recoil anisotropies-consistent with the A (2)Sigma(+)<--X (2)Pi parent excitation and subsequent fragmentation on a time scale that is fast compared with the parent rotational period. Branching into the various spin-orbit states of the Cl(+)((3)P(J)) product is found to depend sensitively upon v(+') and, in the case of the v(+')=13 level, to vary with the precise choice of excitation wavelength within the A (2)Sigma(+)<--X (2)Pi(13,0) band. Such variations have been rationalized qualitatively in terms of the differing contributions made to the overall predissociation rate of DCl(+)(A,v(+')) molecules by coupling to repulsive states of (4)Pi, (4)Sigma(-), and (2)Sigma(-) symmetries, all of which are calculated to cross the outer limb of the A (2)Sigma(+) state potential at energies close to that of the v(+')=10 level. Cl(+)((3)P(J)) fragments are detected weakly following excitation to A (2)Sigma(+) state levels with v(+')=0 or 1, Cl(+)((1)D) fragments dominate the ion yield when exciting via 2< or =v(+')< or =6 and via v(+')=9, while Cl(+)((1)S) fragments dominate the Cl(+) images obtained when exciting via levels with v(+')=7 and 8. Analysis of wavelength resolved action spectra for forming these Cl(+) ions and of the resulting Cl(+) ion images shows that (i) these ions all arise via two photon absorption processes, resonance enhanced at the one photon energy by the various A(v(+')<10) levels, (ii) the first A (2)Sigma(+)<--X (2)Pi absorption step is saturated under the conditions required to observe significant two photon dissociation, and (iii) the final absorption step from the resonance enhancing A(v(+')) level involves a parallel transition. 相似文献

The fragmentation dynamics of indole molecules following excitation at 193.3 nm, and at a number of different wavelengths in the range 240 < or = lambda(phot) < or = 286 nm, have been investigated by H Rydberg atom photofragment translational spectroscopy. The longer wavelength measurements have been complemented by measurements of excitation spectra for forming parent and fragment ions by two (or more) photon ionisation processes. Analysis identifies at least three distinct contributions to the observed H atom yield, two of which are attributable to dissociation of indole following radiationless transfer from the 1pi pi* excited states (traditionally labelled 1L(b) and 1L(a)) prepared by UV single photon absorption. The structured channel evident in total kinetic energy release (TKER) spectra recorded at lambda(phot) < or = 263 nm is rationalised in terms of N-H bond fission following initial pi* <-- pi excitation and subsequent coupling to the 1pi sigma* potential energy surface via a conical intersection between the respective surfaces--thereby validating recent theoretical predictions regarding the importance of this process (Sobolewski et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2002, 4, 1093). Analysis provides an upper limit for the N-H bond strength in indole: D0(H-indolyl) < or = 31,900 cm(-1). Unimolecular decay of highly vibrationally excited ground state molecules formed by internal conversion from the initially prepared 1pi pi* states is a source of (slow) H atoms but their contribution to the TKER spectra measured in the present work is dwarfed by that from H atoms generated by one or more (unintended but unavoidable) multiphoton processes. 相似文献

The photodissociation and photoionization dynamics of HBr via low-n Rydberg and ion-pair states was studied by using 2 + 1 REMPI spectroscopy and velocity map imaging of photoelectrons. Two-photon excitation at about 9.4-10 eV was used to prepare rotationally selected excited states. Following absorption of the third photon the unperturbed F (1)Delta(2) and i (3)Delta(2) states ionize directly into the ground vibrational state of the molecular ion according to the Franck-Condon principle and upon preservation of the ion core. In case of the V (1)Sigma(+)(0(+)) ion-pair state and the perturbed E (1)Sigma(+)(0(+)), g (3)Sigma(-)(0(+)), and H (1)Sigma(+)(0(+)) Rydberg states the absorption of the third photon additionally results in a long vibrational progression of HBr(+) in the X (2)Pi state as well as formation of electronically excited atomic photofragments. The vibrational excitation of the molecular ion is explained by autoionization of repulsive superexcited states into the ground state of the molecular ion. In contrast to HCl, the perturbed Rydberg states of HBr show strong participation of the direct ionization process, with ionic core preservation. 相似文献

High resolution kinetic energy release spectra were obtained for C(+) and O(+) from CO multiphoton ionization followed by dissociation of CO(+). The excitation was through the CO (B (1)Sigma(+)) state via resonant two-photon excitation around 230 nm. A total of 5 and 6 photons are found to contribute to the production of carbon and oxygen cations. DC slice and Megapixel ion imaging techniques were used to acquire high quality images. Major features in both O(+) and C(+) spectra are assigned to the dissociation of some specific vibrational levels of CO(+)(X (2)Sigma(+)). The angular distributions of C(+) and O(+) are very distinct and those of various features of C(+) are also different. A dramatic change of the angular distribution of C(+) from dissociation of CO(+)(X (2)Sigma(+), nu(+) = 1) is attributed to an accidental one-photon resonance between CO(+)(X (2)Sigma(+), nu(+) = 1) and CO(+)(B (2)Sigma(+), nu(+) = 0) and explained well by a theoretical model. Both kinetic energy release and angular distributions were used to reveal the underlying dynamics. 相似文献

The photoionization and photodissociation dynamics of H(2) and D(2) in selected rovibrational levels of the B (1)Sigma(u) (+) and C (1)Pi(u) states have been investigated by velocity map ion imaging. The selected rotational levels of the B (1)Sigma(u) (+) and C (1)Pi(u) states are prepared by three-photon excitation from the ground state. The absorption of fourth photon results in photoionization to produce H(2)(+) X (2)Sigma(g)(+) or photodissociation to produce a ground-state H(1s) atom and an excited H atom with n >or= 2. The H(2) (+) ion can be photodissociated by absorption of a fifth photon. The resulting H(+) or D(+) ion images provide information on the vibrational state dependence of the photodissociation angular distribution of the molecular ion. The excited H(n >or= 2) atoms produced by the neutral dissociation process can also be ionized by the absorption of a fifth photon. The resulting ion images provide insight into the excited state branching ratios and angular distributions of the neutral photodissociation process. While the experimental ion images contain information on both the ionic and neutral processes, these can be separated based on constraints imposed on the fragment translational energies. The angular distribution of the rings in the ion images indicates that the neutral dissociation of molecular hydrogen and its isotopes is quite complex, and involves coupling to both doubly excited electronic states and the dissociation continua of singly excited Rydberg states. 相似文献

H (Rydberg) atom photofragment translational spectroscopy (HRA-PTS) and complete active space with second order perturbation theory (CASPT2) methods have been used to explore the competing N-H and O-H bond dissociation pathways of 4- and 5-hydroxyindoles (HI) and methoxyindoles (MI). When 4-HI was excited to bound (1)L(b) levels, (λ(phot) ≤ 284.893 nm) O-H bond fission was demonstrated by assignment of the structure within the resulting total kinetic energy release (TKER) spectra. By analogy with phenol, dissociation was deduced to occur by H atom tunnelling under the barrier associated with the lower diabats of the (1)L(b)/(1)πσ*((OH)) conical intersection (CI). No evidence was found for a significant N-H bond dissociation yield at these or shorter excitation wavelengths (284.893 ≥ λ(phot) ≥ 193.3 nm). Companion studies of 4-MI revealed different reaction dynamics. In this case, N-H bond fission is deduced to occur at λ(phot) ≤ 271.104 nm, by direct excitation to the (1)πσ*((NH)) state. Analysis of the measured TKER spectra implies a mechanism wherein, as in pyrrole, the (1)πσ*((NH)) state gains oscillator strength by intensity borrowing from nearby bound states with higher oscillator strengths. HRA-PTS studies of 5-HI, in contrast, showed no evidence for O-H bond dissociation when excited on (1)L(b) levels. The present CASPT2 calculations assist in rationalizing this observation: the area underneath the (1)L(b)/(1)πσ* CI diabats in 5-HI is ~60% greater than the corresponding area in 4-HI and O-H bond dissociation by tunnelling is thus much less probable. Only by reducing the wavelength to ≤ 255 nm were signs of N-H and/or O-H bond dissociation identified. By comparison with companion 5-MI studies, we deduce little O-H bond fission in 5-HI at λ(phot) > 235 nm and that N-H bond fission is the dominant source of H atoms in the wavelength region 255 > λ(phot) > 235 nm. The very different dissociation dynamics of 4- and 5-HI are traced to the position of the -OH substituent, and its effect on the overall electronic structure. 相似文献

We present velocity map images of the NO, O((3)P(J)) and O((1)S(0)) photofragments from NO(2) excited in the range 7.6 to 9.0 eV. The molecule was initially pumped with a visible photon between 2.82-2.95 eV (440-420 nm), below the first dissociation threshold. A second ultraviolet laser with photon energies between 4.77 and 6.05 eV (260-205 nm) was used to pump high-lying excited states of neutral NO(2) and/or probe neutral photoproducts. Analysis of the kinetic energy release spectra revealed that the NO photofragments were predominantly formed in their ground electronic state with little kinetic energy. The O((3)P(J)) and O((1)S(0)) kinetic energy distributions were also dominated by kinetically 'cold' fragments. We discuss the possible excitation schemes and conclude that the unstable photoexcited states probed in the experiment were Rydberg states coupled to dissociative valence states. We compare our results with recent time-resolved studies using similar excitation and probe photon energies. 相似文献

Photodissociation and photoionization of 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (25DHBA), at 193 and 355 nm were investigated separately in a molecular beam using multimass ion imaging techniques. Two channels competed after excitation by one 193 nm photon. One channel is dissociation from the repulsive excited state along O-H bond distance, resulting in H atom elimination from meta-OH functional group. The other channel is internal conversion to the ground state, followed by H(2)O elimination. Some of the fragments further proceeded to secondary dissociation. On the other hand, absorption of one 355 nm photon gave rise to H(2)O elimination channel on the ground state. Absorption of more than one 355 nm photon resulted in the three-body dissociation which also occurs on the ground state. Dissociation on the excited state does not play a role at 355 nm. The large concentration ratio (2×10(5)), between neutral fragments and cations produced from 355 nm multiphoton excitation indicates that internal conversion followed by dissociation, is the major channel for 355 nm multiphoton excitation. Multiphoton ionization is a minor channel. Multiphoton ionization of 25DHBA clusters only produces 25DHBA cations. Neither anion nor protonated 25DHBA cation were observed. It is very different from the ions produced from solid matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI), experiments. This suggests that protonated 25DHBA and negatively charged 25DHBA generated in MALDI experiments does not simply result from the ionization following proton transfer reactions or charge transfer reactions of the clusters in the gas phase. 相似文献

Molecular beam cooled HCl was state selected by two-photon excitation of the V (1) summation operator(0(+)) [v=9,11-13,15], E (1) summation operator(0(+)) [v=0], and g (3) summation operator(-)(0(+)) [v=0] states through either the Q(0) or Q(1) lines of the respective (1,3) summation operator(0(+))<--<--X (1) summation operator(0(+)) transition. Similarly, HBr was excited to the V (1) summation operator(0(+)) [v=m+3, m+5-m+8], E (1) summation operator(0(+)) [v=0], and H (1) summation operator(0(+)) [v=0] states through the Q(0) or Q(1) lines. Following absorption of a third photon, protons were formed by three different mechanisms and detected using velocity map imaging. (1) H(*)(n=2) was formed in coincidence with (2)P(i) halogen atoms and subsequently ionized. For HCl, photodissociation into H(*)(n=2)+Cl((2)P(12)) was dominant over the formation of Cl((2)P(32)) and was attributed to parallel excitation of the repulsive [(2) (2)Pi4llambda] superexcited (Omega=0) states. For HBr, the Br((2)P(32))Br((2)P(12)) ratio decreases with increasing excitation energy. This indicates that both the [(3) (2)Pi(12)5llambda] and the [B (2) summation operator5llambda] superexcited (Omega=0) states contribute to the formation of H(*)(n=2). (2) For selected intermediate states HCl was found to dissociate into the H(+)+Cl(-) ion pair with over 20% relative yield. A mechanism is proposed by which a bound [A (2) summation operatornlsigma] (1) summation operator(0(+)) superexcited state acts as a gateway state to dissociation into the ion pair. (3) For all intermediate states, protons were formed by dissociation of HX(+)[v(+)] following a parallel, DeltaOmega=0, excitation. The quantum yield for the dissociation process was obtained using previously reported photoionization efficiency data and was found to peak at v(+)=6-7 for HCl and v(+)=12 for HBr. This is consistent with excitation of the repulsive A(2) summation operator(12) and (2) (2)Pi states of HCl(+), and the (3) (2)Pi state of HBr(+). Rotational alignment of the Omega=0(+) intermediate states is evident from the angular distribution of the excited H(*)(n=2) photofragments. This effect has been observed previously and was used here to verify the reliability of the measured spatial anisotropy parameters. 相似文献

Two-photon excitation with femtosecond laser pulses in the spectral range 240-250 nm was used to prepare vapor phase H(2)O and D(2)O in the C (1)B(1) and D (1)A(1) states. Both states are predissociated via the B (1)A(1) state, forming excited OH/OD(A (2)Sigma(+)) as well as ground state OH/OD(X (2)Pi). We used ultrashort infrared probe pulses (1.65-2.42 microm) to control the ratio between these excited and ground state fragments originating from the dissociation process. Time resolved detection of the OH/OD(A (2)Sigma(+)) --> OH/OD(X (2)Pi) fluorescence allows us to monitor the dynamics of the predissociation. For the heterogeneous predissociation out of the C(1)B(1) state life times of (0.5 +/- 0.1) ps and (1.2 +/- 0.1) ps were found for H(2)O and D(2)O, respectively. The purely homogeneous character of the predissociation out of the D (1)A(1) state was monitored. 相似文献

The dynamics of photodissociation of acetoxime at 193 nm, leading to the formation of (CH3)2C=N and OH fragments, has been investigated. The nascent OH radicals, which are both rotationally and vibrationally excited, were probed by laser photolysis-laser induced fluorescence technique. OH fragments in both v" = 1 and v" = 0 vibrational states were detected with a ratio of population in the higher to lower level of 0.07+/-0.01. The rotational temperatures of v" = 0 and 1 levels of OH radicals are 2650+/-150 K and 1290+/-20 K, respectively. More than 30% of the available energy, i.e., 115+/-21 kJ mol(-1) is partitioned into the relative translational energy of the fragments. The results of excited electronic state and transition state calculations at the configuration interaction with single electronic excitation level suggest that the dissociation takes place with an exit barrier of approximately 126 kJ mol(-1) at the triplet state (T2) potential energy surface, formed by internal conversions/intersystem crossing from the initially populated S2 state. Using the calculated transition state geometry and its energy, the observed energy distribution pattern can be reproduced by the hybrid model within experimental uncertainties. The presence of an exit barrier is further supported by the observation of N-OH dissociation upon 248 nm excitation, where the relative translational energy of the fragments is found to be approximately 96 kJ mol(-1). The photodissociation dynamics of acetoxime is compared with C-OH dissociation in enols and carboxylic acid and N-OH dissociation in nitrous acid. The observed emission (lambda(max)=430 nm) and the N-OH dissociation dynamics indicate crossing of the initially populated state to an emissive state of acetoxime, which is different from the dissociative state. 相似文献

The H(+) velocity map images from the ion-pair dissociation of H(2)S + hν → SH(-)(X(1)Σ(+), υ = 0, 1) + H(+) have been measured at the excitation energies 15.259, 15.395, and 15.547 eV, respectively. The experimental results show that most of the available energies are transformed into the translational energies. The angular distributions of the fragments SH(-)(X(1)Σ(+), υ = 0) indicate that the dissociation occurs via pure parallel transition with limiting anisotropy parameter of +2. Because the ion-pair dissociation usually occurs via the predissociation of Rydberg states, this suggests that the ion cores of the excited Rydberg states have linear geometries. The geometries and electronic structures of the linear H(2)S(+) have been calculated employing the quantum chemistry calculation method at the CASPT2/avqz level. The electronic structures for the ion-pair states have been calculated at the CASSCF/avtz level, which indicates that the equilibrium geometries of the ion-pair states have bent geometries. 相似文献

The multiphoton multichannel photodynamics of NO(2) has been studied using femtosecond time-resolved coincidence imaging. A novel photoelectron-photoion coincidence imaging machine was developed at the laboratory in Amsterdam employing velocity map imaging and "slow" charged particle extraction using additional electron and ion optics. The NO(2) photodynamics was studied using a two color pump-probe scheme with femtosecond pulses at 400 and 266 nm. The multiphoton excitation produces both NO(2) (+) parent ions and NO(+) fragment ions. Here we mainly present the time dependent photoelectron images in coincidence with NO(2) (+) or NO(+) and the (NO(+),e) photoelectron versus fragment ion kinetic energy correlations. The coincidence photoelectron spectra and the correlated energy distributions make it possible to assign the different dissociation pathways involved. Nonadiabatic dynamics between the ground state and the A (2)B(2) state after absorption of a 400 nm photon is reflected in the transient photoelectron spectrum of the NO(2) (+) parent ion. Furthermore, Rydberg states are believed to be used as "stepping" states responsible for the rather narrow and well-separated photoelectron spectra in the NO(2) (+) parent ion. Slow statistical and fast direct fragmentation of NO(2) (+) after prompt photoelectron ejection is observed leading to formation of NO(+)+O. Fragmentation from both the ground state and the electronically excited a (3)B(2) and b (3)A(2) states of NO(2) (+) is observed. At short pump probe delay times, the dominant multiphoton pathway for NO(+) formation is a 3x400 nm+1x266 nm excitation. At long delay times (>500 fs) two multiphoton pathways are observed. The dominant pathway is a 1x400 nm+2x266 nm photon excitation giving rise to very slow electrons and ions. A second pathway is a 3x400 nm photon absorption to NO(2) Rydberg states followed by dissociation toward neutral electronically and vibrationally excited NO(A (2)Sigma,v=1) fragments, ionized by one 266 nm photon absorption. As is shown in the present study, even though the pump-probe transients are rather featureless the photoelectron-photoion coincidence images show a complex time varying dynamics in NO(2). We present the potential of our novel coincidence imaging machine to unravel in unprecedented detail the various competing pathways in femtosecond time-resolved multichannel multiphoton dynamics of molecules. 相似文献
