چکیده
For the first time, two hydrogen-deficient hydrocarbon radicals are generated in situ via laser ablation of graphite and seeding the ablated species in acetylene gas, which acts as a carrier and reactant simultaneously. By recording photoionization efficiency curves (PIE) and simulating the experimental spectrum with computed Franck-Condon (FC) factors, we can reproduce the general pattern of the PIE curve of m/z=37. We recover ionization energies of 9.15 eV and 9.76 eV for the linear and cyclic isomers, respectively. Our combined experimental and theoretical studies provide an unprecedented, versatile pathway to investigate the ionization energies of even more complex hydrocarbon radicals in situ, which are difficult to prepare by classical synthesis, in future experiments.

A combined experimental and theoretical study on the formation of interstellar C3H isomers.
The reaction of ground-state carbon atoms with acetylene was studied under single-collision conditions in crossed beam experiments to investigate the chemical dynamics of forming cyclic and linear C3H isomers (c-C3H and l-C3H, respectively) in interstellar environments via an atom-neutral reaction. Combined state-of-the-art ab initio calculations and experimental identification of the carbon-hy...
متن کاملStructural Investigation, Proton and Electron Affinities, Gas Phase Basicities, and Ionization Energies of Captopril
Captopril is one of the most significant angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. In spite of numerous experimental and computational studies on its properties, not enough geometrical and thermodynamic data is available on this compound. So, this study aimed to investigate the structural properties and assignment of possible conformers of captopril in the gas-phase. To this end, 1152 unique tr...
متن کاملCharacterization of cyclic and linear C3H- and C3H via anion photoelectron spectroscopy.
Anion photoelectron spectroscopy of C3H- and C3D- is performed using both field-free time-of-flight and slow electron velocity-map imaging. We observe and assign transitions originating from linear/bent (l-C3H) and cyclic (c-C3H) anionic isomers to the corresponding neutral ground states and low-lying excited states. Transitions within the cyclic and linear manifolds are distinguished by their ...
متن کاملNumerical and Experimental Study on Ratcheting Behavior of Steel Cylindrical Shells with/without Cutout Under Cyclic Combined and Axial Loading
Ratcheting behavior of steel 304L cylindrical shell under cyclic combined and axial loading are investigated in this paper, numerically. Cylindrical shells were fixed oblique at angle of 20° and normal with respect to the longitudinal direction of the shell and subjected to force-controlled cycling with non-zero mean force, which causes the accumulation of plastic deformation or ratcheting beha...
