Abstract: | Formation of the unstable cis-formic acid in solid argon matrix is induced by direct excitation of the 6<--0 transition of the nu(OH) vibration of the trans-formic acid. The experiment utilizes strongly focused laser beam that produces relatively high isomerization rate despite the low cross section of the absorption. Raman spectroscopy in a backscattering geometry is used for detection of the reactants and the products. This experimental arrangement allow us to use the same laser source for simultaneous pumping and Raman excitation, and it also guarantees that the excited and probed volumes overlap. The presented method has a high potential for solid state investigations of chemical reactions on the ground electronic state. |
