Structures and formation of \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \left[{{\rm C}_{{\rm 4}} {\rm H}_{{\rm 8}} } \right]_{}^{_.^ + } $\end{document} ions

Several \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \left[{{\rm C}_{{\rm 4}} {\rm H}_{{\rm\ 8}} } \right]_{}^{_.^ + } $\end{document} ion isomers yield characteristic and distinguishable collisional activation spectra: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \left[{{\rm 1-butene} } \right]_{}^{_.^ + } $\end{document} and/or \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \left[{{\rm 2-butene} } \right]_{}^{_.^ + } $\end{document} (a-b), \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \left[{{\rm isobutene} } \right]_{}^{_.^ + } $\end{document} (c) and [cyclobutane]⁺ (e), while the collisional activation spectrum of \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \left[{{\rm methylcyclopropane} } \right]_{}^{_.^ + } $\end{document} (d) could also arise from a combination of a-b and c. Although ready isomerization may occur for \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \left[{{\rm C}_{{\rm 4}} {\rm H}_{{\rm 8}} } \right]_{}^{_.^ + } $\end{document} ions of higher internal energy, such as d or e → a, b, and/or c, the isomeric product ions identified from many precursors are consistent with previously postulated rearrangement mechanisms. 1,4-Eliminations of HX occur in 1-alkanols and, in part, 1-buthanethiol and 1-bromobutane. The collisional activation data are consistent with a substantial proportion of 1,3-elimination in 1- and 2-chlorobutane, although 1,2-elimination may also occur in the latter, and the formation of the methylcycloprpane ion from n-butyl vinyl ether and from n-butyl formate. Surprisingly, cyclohexane yields the \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \left[{{\rm linear butene} } \right]_{}^{_.^ + } $\end{document} ions a-b, not \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \left[{{\rm cyclobutane} } \right]_{}^{_.^ + } $\end{document}, e.     

The vinyloxonium cation, \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}${\rm CH}_{\rm 2} = {\rm CH - }\mathop {\rm O}\limits^{\rm + } {\rm H}_{\rm 2}$\end{document}, a stable [C2H5O]+ species in the gas phase

The charge stripping mass spectra of [C₂H₅O]⁺ ions permit the clear identification of four distinct species: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}${\rm CH}_{\rm 3} - {\rm O - }\mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } {\rm H}_{\rm 2}$\end{document}, \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}${\rm CH}_{\rm 3} - \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } {\rm H - OH}$\end{document}, and \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}${\rm CH}_{\rm 2} = {\rm CH - }\mathop {\rm O}\limits^{\rm + } {\rm H}_{\rm 2}$\end{document}. The latter, the vinyloxonium ion, has not been identified before. It is generated from ionized n-butanol and 1,3-propanediol. Its heat of formation is estimated to be 623±12 kJ mol^?1. The charge stripping method is more sensitive to these ion structures than conventional collisional activation, which focuses attention on singly charged fragment ions.     

Structure and formation of gaseous [C4H5O]+ ions. I—isomeric ions of the type C3H5\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document} $\mathop {\rm C}\limits^ + =\!= $\end{document}O

Characterization of [C₄H₅O]⁺ ions in the gas phase using their collisional activation spectra shows that the four C₃H₅\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document} $\mathop {\rm C}\limits^ + =\!= $\end{document}O isomers CH₂?C(CH₃)\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document} $\mathop {\rm C}\limits^ + =\!= $\end{document}O, CH₂?CHCH₂\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document} $\mathop {\rm C}\limits^ + =\!= $\end{document}O, CH₃CH?CH\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document} $\mathop {\rm C}\limits^ + =\!= $\end{document}O and ?? \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document} $\mathop {\rm C}\limits^ + =\!= $\end{document}O are stable for ≥ 10^?5 s. It is concluded further from the characteristic shapes for the unimolecular loss of CO from C₃H₅\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document} $\mathop {\rm C}\limits^ + =\!= $\end{document}O ions generated from a series of precursor molecules that the CH₂?CH(CH₃)\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document} $\mathop {\rm C}\limits^ + =\!= $\end{document}O- and CH₂?CHCH₂\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document} $\mathop {\rm C}\limits^ + =\!= $\end{document}O-type ions dissociate over different potential surfaces to yield [allyl]⁺ and [2-propenyl]⁺ [C₃H₅]⁺ product ions respectively. Cyclopropyl carbonyl-type ions lose CO with a large kinetic energy release, which points to ring opening in the transition state, whereas this loss from CH₃CH?CH\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document} $\mathop {\rm C}\limits^ + =\!= $\end{document}O-type ions is proposed to occur via a rate determining 1,2-H shift to yield 2-propenyl cations.     

Structure and formation of gaseous [C4H5O]+ Ions. II–Ions of the type HCC?\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}(OH)(CH3)

Loss of an alkyl group X? from acetylenic alcohols HC?C? CX(OH)(CH₃) and gas phase protonation of HC?C? CO? CH₃ are both shown to yield stable HC?C? \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}(OH)(CH₃) ions. Ions of this structure are unique among all other [C₄H₅O]⁺ isomers by having m/z 43 [C₂H₃O]⁺ as base peak in both the metastable ion and collisional activation spectra. It is concluded that the composite metastable peak for formation of m/z 43 corresponds to two distinct reaction profiles which lead to the same product ion, CH₃\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}?O, and neutral, HC?CH. It is further shown that the [C₄H₅O]⁺ ions from related alcohols (like HC?C? CH(OH)(CH₃)) which have an α-H atom available for isomerization into energy rich allenyl type molecular ions, consist of a second stable structure, H₂C?\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}?

The mass spectra of organic compounds. 6th Communication.. The Ring Opening Reaction of Isomeric Cyclanones C8H14O\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{+ \atop \dot{}} $\end{document} in metastable and collisional-activation spectra

The molecular ions from three isomeric cyclanones isomerize to the ethyl-2-cyclohexanone ion prior to C₂H₄ elimination. With D- and ¹⁸O-labelled compounds it is shown by Mass Analyzed Ion Kinetic Energy Spectroscopy (MIKES.) that both isomerization and C₂H₄ loss are specific processes. By high resolution collisional activation spectra it is shown that the resultant fragment ion [C₆H₁₀O]\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ 1^{+ \atop \dot{}} $\end{document} (m/z = 98) differs in structure from the cyclohexanone molecular ion.

\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \left[{{\rm C}_{{\rm 10}} {\rm H}_{{\rm 14}} } \right]_{}^{_.^ + } $\end{document} ions have been generated from a number of adamantanoid compounds, both by ionization and ionization followed-by fragmentation.

The barriers to partial rotation around the central single bond in chiral dienes \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}${\rm HOCMe}_{\rm 2} \rlap{--} ({\rm CCl =\!= CCl\rlap{--})}_{\rm 2} {\rm X}$\end{document} have been determined by coalescence of either ¹H NMR signals (X = CH₂OCH₃) or ¹³C NMR signals (X = H). In the presence of the optically active shift reagent (+) ? Eu(hfbc)₃ all ¹H signals were split at temperatures where the interconversion of enantiomers is slow. The temperature dependence of these spectra also yielded free activation enthalpies for the enantiomerizations which were in agreement with the ones obtained without Eu(hfbc)₃. The assignment of the four methyl resonances appearing in the presence of (+) ? Eu(hfbc)₃ at low temperature was possible by gradually increasing the rate of enantiomerization or gradually replacing the optically active auxiliary compound by the racemic one.     

Electrochemical Study on Hydrogen Evolution and \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}$\end{document}\begin{document}$_\rm{2}$\end{document} Reduction on Pt Electrode in Acid Solutions with Different pH

Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is the major cathodic reaction which competes \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{2}$\end{document} reduction reaction (\begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{2}$\end{document} RR) on Pt electrode. Molecular level understanding on how these two reactions interact with each other and what the key factors are of \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{2}$\end{document} RR kinetics and selectivity will be of great help in optimizing electrolysers for \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{2}$\end{document} reduction. In this work, we report our results of hydrogen evolution and \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{2}$\end{document} reduction on Pt(111) and Pt film electrodes in \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{2}$\end{document} saturated acid solution by cyclic voltammetry and infrared spectroscopy. In solution with pH > 2, the major process is HER and the interfacial pH increases abruptly during HER; \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{ad}$\end{document} is the only adsorbed intermediate detected in \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{2}$\end{document} reduction by infrared spectroscopy; the rate for \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{ad}$\end{document} formation increases with the coverage of UPD-H and reaches maximum at the onset potential for HER; the decrease of \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{ad}$\end{document} formation under HER is attributed to the available limited sites and the limited residence time for the reduction intermediate (\begin{document}$\rm{H}_\rm{ad}$\end{document}), which is necessary for \begin{document}${\rm C}\rm{O}_\rm{2}$\end{document} adsorption and reduction.     

Stable γ-distonic oxonium ions: R\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm O}\limits^ + $\end{document}HCHR′ĊH2CHR″ and their characteristic reaction

The γ-distonic radical ions R$ \mathop {\rm O}\limits^ + $CHR′CH₂?HR″ and their molecular ion counterparts R$ \mathop {\rm O}\limits^{{\rm + } \cdot } $CHR′CH₂CH₂R″ have been studied by isotopic labelling and collision-induced dissociation, applying a potential to the collision cell in order to separate activated from spontaneous decompositions.

For all these γ-distonic ions, the 1,4-H abstraction leading to their molecular ion counterpart exhibits a primary isotope effect.     

Ab initio molecular orbital study on the structures and energetics of CH3OH\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$_{2}^{+}$\end{document}(H2O)n and CH3SH\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$_{2}^{+}$\end{document}(H2O)n in the gas phase

The purpose of this study was to calculate the structures and energetics of CH₃OH$_{2}^{+}$(H₂O)_n and CH₃SH$_{2}^{+}$(H₂O)_n in the gas phase: we asked how the CH₃OH$_{2}^{+}$ and CH₃SH$_{2}^{+}$ moieties of CH₃OH$_{2}^{+}$(H₂O)_n and CH₃SH$_{2}^{+}$(H₂O)_n change with an increase in n and how can we reproduce the experimental values ΔH°_n−1,n. For this purpose, we carried out full geometry optimizations with MP2/6‐31+G(d,p) for CH₃OH$_{2}^{+}$(H₂O)_n (n=0,1,2,3,4,5) and CH₃SH$_{2}^{+}$(H₂O)_n (n=0,1,2,3,4). We also performed a vibrational analysis for all clusters in the optimized structures to confirm that all vibrational frequencies are real. All of the vibrational frequencies of these clusters are real, and they correspond to equilibrium structures. For CH₃OH$_{2}^{+}$(H₂O)_n, when n increases, (1) the C O bond length decreases, (2) the C H bond lengths do not change, (3) the O H bond lengths increase, (4) the OCH bond angles increase, (5) the COH bond angles decrease, (6) the charge on CH₃ becomes less positive, and (7) these predicted values, except for the O H bond lengths of CH₃OH$_{2}^{+}$(H₂O)_n, approach the corresponding values in CH₃OH. The C O bond length in CH₃OH$_{2}^{+}$(H₂O)₅ is shorter than that in CH₃OH$_{2}^{+}$ in the gas phase by 0.061 Å at the MP2/6‐31+G(d,p) level. Except for the S H bond lengths in CH₃SH$_{2}^{+}$(H₂O)_n, however, the structure of the CH₃SH$_{2}^{+}$ moiety does not change with an increase in n. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Low-Lying Isomers of (TiO\begin{document}$_{2}$\end{document})\begin{document}$_{n}$\end{document} (\begin{document}${n}$\end{document}=2-8) Clusters

Although there are diverse bond features of Ti and O atoms, so far only several isomers have been reported for each (TiO\begin{document}$_2$\end{document})\begin{document}$_n$\end{document} cluster. Instead of the widely used global optimization, in this work, we search for the low-lying isomers of (TiO\begin{document}$_2$\end{document})\begin{document}$_n$\end{document} (\begin{document}$n$\end{document}=2\begin{document}$-$\end{document}8) clusters with up to 10000 random sampling initial structures. These structures were optimized by the PM6 method, followed by density functional theory calculations. With this strategy, we have located many more low-lying isomers than those reported previously. The number of isomers increases dramatically with the size of the cluster, and about 50 isomers were found for (TiO\begin{document}$_2$\end{document})\begin{document}$_7$\end{document} and (TiO\begin{document}$_2$\end{document})\begin{document}$_8$\end{document} with the energy within kcal/mol. Furthermore, new lowest isomers have been located for (TiO\begin{document}$_2$\end{document})\begin{document}$_5$\end{document} and (TiO\begin{document}$_2$\end{document})\begin{document}$_8$\end{document}, and isomers with three terminal oxygen atoms, five coordinated oxygen atoms as well as six coordinated titanium atoms have been located. Our work highlights the diverse structural features and a large number of isomers of small TiO\begin{document}$_2$\end{document} clusters.     

Gamma Ray Radiation Effect on \begin{document}$\rm{{Bi}}_{2}$\end{document}W\begin{document}$\rm{{O}}_{6}$\end{document} Photocatalyst

The development of \begin{document}$\rm{Bi}_2$\end{document}W\begin{document}$\rm{O}_6$\end{document}-based materials has become one of research hotspots due to the increasing demands on high-efficient photocatalyst responding to visible light. In this work, the effect of high energy radiation (\begin{document}$\gamma$\end{document}-ray) on the structure and the photocatalytic activity of \begin{document}$\rm{Bi}_2$\end{document}W\begin{document}$\rm{O}_6$\end{document} nanocrystals was first studied. No morphological change of \begin{document}$\rm{Bi}_2$\end{document}W\begin{document}$\rm{O}_6$\end{document} nanocrystals was observed by SEM under \begin{document}$\gamma$\end{document}-ray radiation. However, the XRD spectra of the irradiated \begin{document}$\rm{Bi}_2$\end{document}W\begin{document}$\rm{O}_6$\end{document} nanocrystals showed the characteristic 2\begin{document}$\theta$\end{document} of (113) plane shifts slightly from 28.37\begin{document}$^{\rm{o}}$\end{document} to 28.45\begin{document}$^{\rm{o}}$\end{document} with the increase of the absorbed dose, confirming the change in the crystal structure of \begin{document}$\rm{Bi}_2$\end{document}W\begin{document}$\rm{O}_6$\end{document}. The XPS results proved the crystal structure change was originated from the generation of oxygen vacancy defects under high-dose radiation. The photocatalytic activity of \begin{document}$\rm{Bi}_2$\end{document}W\begin{document}$\rm{O}_6$\end{document} on the decomposition of methylene blue (MB) in water under visible light increases gradually with the increase of absorbed dose. Moreover, the improved photocatalytic performance of the irradiated \begin{document}$\rm{Bi}_2$\end{document}W\begin{document}$\rm{O}_6$\end{document} nanocrystals remained after three cycles of photocatalysis, indicating a good stability of the created oxygen vacancy defects. This work gives a new simple way to improve photocatalytic performance of \begin{document}$\rm{Bi}_2$\end{document}W\begin{document}$\rm{O}_6$\end{document} through creating oxygen vacancy defects in the crystal structure by \begin{document}$\gamma$\end{document}-ray radiation.     

"Dry" NiCo\begin{document}$_\textbf{2}$\end{document}O\begin{document}$_\textbf{4}$\end{document} Nanorods for Electrochemical Non-enzymatic Glucose Sensing

A rod-like NiCo\begin{document}$_2$\end{document}O\begin{document}$_4$\end{document} modified glassy carbon electrode was fabricated and used for non-enzymatic glucose sensing. The NiCo\begin{document}$_2$\end{document}O\begin{document}$_4$\end{document} was prepared by a facile hydrothermal reaction and subsequently treated in a commercial microwave oven to eliminate the residual water introduced during the hydrothermal procedure. Structural analysis showed that there was no significant structural alteration before and after microwave treatment. The elimination of water residuals was confirmed by the stoichiometric ratio change by using element analysis. The microwave treated NiCo\begin{document}$_2$\end{document}O\begin{document}$_4$\end{document} (M-NiCo\begin{document}$_2$\end{document}O\begin{document}$_4$\end{document}) showed excellent performance as a glucose sensor (sensitivity 431.29 \begin{document}$\mu $\end{document}A\begin{document}$\cdot$\end{document}mmol/L\begin{document}$^{-1}$\end{document}\begin{document}$\cdot$\end{document}cm\begin{document}$^{-2}$\end{document}). The sensing performance decreases dramatically by soaking the M-NiCo\begin{document}$_2$\end{document}O\begin{document}$_4$\end{document} in water. This result indicates that the introduction of residual water during hydrothermal process strongly affects the electrochemical performance and microwave pre-treatment is crucial for better sensory performance.     

The Radical Anions and Trianions of 1,8-Diphenylnaphthalene and of Some of its Derivatives Containing a Cyclophane Substructure

The radical anions of 1,8-diphenylnaphthalene ( 1 ) and its decadeuterio-(D₁₀- 1 ) and dimethyl-( 2 ) derivatives, as well as those of [2.0.0] (1,4)benzeno(1,8)naphthaleno(1,4)benzenophane ( 3 ) and its olefinic analogue ( 4 ) have been studied by ESR and ENDOR spectroscopy, At a variance with a previous report, the spin population in \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \rm {1}^{-\kern-4pt {.}} $\end{document} and \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \rm {2}^{-\kern-4pt {.}} $\end{document} is to a great extent localized in the naphthalene moiety. A similar spin distribution is found for \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \rm {3}^{-\kern-4pt {.}} $\end{document} and \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \rm {4}^{-\kern-4pt {.}} $\end{document}. The ground conformations of \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \rm {1}^{-\kern-4pt {.}} $\end{document}-\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \rm {4}^{-\kern-4pt {.}} $\end{document} are chiral of C₂ symmetry. For \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \rm {1}^{-\kern-4pt {.}} $\end{document}, an energy barrier between these conformations and the angle of twist about the bonds linking the naphthalene moiety with the phenyl substituents were estimated as ca. 50 kJ/mol and ca. 45°, respectively. The radical trianions of 1 , D₁₀- 1 , and 2 , have also been characterized by their hyperfine data. In \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \rm {1}^{3-\kern-4pt {.}} $\end{document} and \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \rm {2}^{3-\kern-4pt {.}} $\end{document}, the bulk of the spin population resides in the two benzene rings so that these radical trianions can be regarded as the radical anions of ‘open-chain cyclophanes’ with a fused naphthalene π-system bearing almost two negative charges. The main features of the spin distribution in both \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \rm {1}^{-\kern-4pt {.}} $\end{document} and \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \rm {1}^{3-\kern-4pt {.}} $\end{document} are correctly predicted by an HMO model of 1 .     

在ADC(2)水平上通过从头算非绝热动力学方法模拟硝酸甲酯的光解（英文）

在ADC(2)水平上通过轨线面跳跃方法模拟了硝酸甲酯的非绝热动力学.结果证实该体系存在快速的非绝热动力学过程,导致了体系回到电子基态.当动力学从S₁和S₂电子态开始时,光解产物是CH₃O+NO₂,这个发现与实验研究的结果以及更高精度的XMS-CASPT2水平上模拟出的结果一致.在ADC(2)水平上,当动力学从S₃态开始时,光解产物依然是CH₃O+NO₂.该研究表明:ADC(2)方法可用于研究硝酸甲酯在长波下的光解机理,然而无法用于理解其在短波段下的光解动力学.本文为在ADC(2)水平上处理类似化合物的光诱导过程提供了有价值的信息.     

The gas phase ion chemistry of the acetyl cation and isomeric [C2H3O]+ ions. On the structure of the [C2H3O]+ daughter ions generated from the enol of acetone radical cation

Methods are described for the unequivocal identification of the acetyl, [CH₃? \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document} ?O] (a), 1-hydroxyvinyl, [CH₂?\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}? OH] (b), and oxiranyl, (d), cations. They involve the careful examination of metastable peak intensities and shapes and collision induced processes at very low, high and intermediate collision gas pressures. It will be shown that each [C₂H₃O]⁺ ion produces a unique metastable peak for the fragmentation [C₂H₃O]⁺ → [CH₃]⁺+CO, each appropriately relating to different [C₂H₃O]⁺ structures. [CH₃? \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}?O] ions do not interconvert with any of the other [C₂H₃O]⁺ ions prior to loss of CO, but deuterium and ¹³C labelling experiments established that [CH₂?\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}? OH] (b) rearranges via a 1,2-H shift into energy-rich leading to the loss of positional identity of the carbon atoms in ions (b). Fragmentation of b to [CH₃]⁺+CO has a high activation energy, c. 400 kJ mol^?1. On the other hand, , generated at its threshold from a suitable precursor molecule, does not rearrange into [CH₂?\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}? OH], but undergoes a slow isomerization into [CH₃? \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}?O] via [CH₂\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}HO]. Interpretation of results rests in part upon recent ab initio calculations. The methods described in this paper permit the identification of reactions that have hitherto lain unsuspected: for example, many of the ionized molecules of type CH₃COR examined in this work produce [CH₂?\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}? OH] ions in addition to [CH₃? \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}?O] showing that some enolization takes place prior to fragmentation. Furthermore, ionized ethanol generates a, b and d ions. We have also applied the methods for identification of daughter ions in systems of current interest. The loss of OH^˙ from [CH₃COOD]^+˙ generates only [CH₂?\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}? OD]. Elimination of CH₃^˙ from the enol of acetone radical cation most probably generates only [CH₃? \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm C}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}?O] ions, confirming the earlier proposal for non-ergodic behaviour of this system. We stress, however, that until all stable isomeric species (such as [CH₃? \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \mathop {\rm O}\limits^{\rm + } $\end{document}?C:]) have been experimentally identified, the hypothesis of incompletely randomized energy should be used with reserve.     

Intra- and Intermolecular Rovibrational States of HCl-H\begin{document}$ _\textbf{2} $\end{document}O and DCl-H\begin{document}$ _\textbf{2} $\end{document}O Dimers from Full-Dimensional and Fully Coupled Quantum Calculations

We report full-dimensional and fully coupled quantum bound-state calculations of the \begin{document}$ J $\end{document} = 1 intra- and intermolecular rovibrational states of two isotopologues of the hydrogen chloride-water dimer, HCl-H\begin{document}$ _2 $\end{document}O (HH) and DCl-H\begin{document}$ _2 $\end{document}O (DH). The present study complements our recent theoretical investigations of the \begin{document}$ J $\end{document} = 0 nine-dimensional (9D) vibrational level structure of these and two other H/D isotopologues of this noncovalently bound molecular complex, and employs the same accurate 9D permutation invariant polynomial-neural network potential energy surface. The calculations yield all intramolecular vibrational fundamentals of the HH and DH dimers and the low-energy intermolecular rovibrational states in these intramolecular vibrational manifolds. The results are compared with those of the 9D \begin{document}$ J $\end{document} = 0 calculations of the same dimers. The energy differences between the \begin{document}$ K $\end{document} = 1 and \begin{document}$ K $\end{document} = 0 eigenstates exhibit pronounced variations with the intermolecular rovibrational states, for which a qualitative explanation is provided.
