Gas-phase infrared photodissociation spectroscopy of tetravanadiumoxo and oxo-methoxo cluster anions.

چکیده
The infrared spectra of the binary vanadium oxide cluster anions V(4)O(9)(-) and V(4)O(10)(-) and of the related methoxo clusters V(4)O(9)(OCH(3))(-) and V(4)O(8)(OCH(3))(2)(-) are recorded in the gas phase by photodissociation of the mass-selected ions using an infrared laser. For the oxide clusters V(4)O(9)(-) and V(4)O(10)(-), the bands of the terminal vanadyl oxygen atoms, nu(V-O(t)), and of the bridging oxygen atoms, nu(V-O(b)-V), are identified clearly. The clusters in which one or two of the oxo groups are replaced by methoxo ligands show additional absorptions which are assigned to the C-O stretch, nu(C-O). Density functional calculations are used as a complement for the experimental studies and the interpretation of the infrared spectra. The results depend in an unusual way on the functional employed (BLYP versus B3LYP), which is due to the presence of both V-O(CH(3)) single and V=O double bonds as terminal bonds and to the strong multireference character of the latter.

The gas phase vibrational spectroscopy of Br•~HBr!1,2,3 clusters has been studied between 6 and 16 mm ~625 and 1700 cm! by multiphoton infrared photodissociation spectroscopy using the output of the free electron laser for infrared experiments. Infrared ~IR! spectra were recorded by monitoring the mass-selected ion yield. In all three systems neutral HBr loss is found to be the dominant photofr...

Isomer-resolved ion spectroscopy.
We demonstrate the isomer-resolved spectroscopy of gas-phase ions, with different geometries separated prior to spectroscopic probe using ion mobility techniques. Specifically, ring and chain isomers of carbon cluster anions with 10;-12 atoms have been separated by ion mobility/mass spectrometry and examined by photoelectron spectroscopy. This methodology should also apply to other ion spectros...
