Circular dichroism in the photoelectron angular distributions of camphor and fenchone from multiphoton ionization with femtosecond laser pulses.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Shine a light: a circular dichroism effect in the ±10 % regime on randomly oriented chiral molecules in the gas phase is demonstrated. The signal is derived from images of photoelectron angular distributions produced by resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization and allows the enantiomers to be distinguished. To date, this effect could only be generated with a synchrotron source. The new tabletop laser-based approach will make this approach far more accessible.

Photoelectron circular dichroism of bicyclic ketones from multiphoton ionization with femtosecond laser pulses.
Photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) is a CD effect up to the ten-percent regime and shows contributions from higher-order Legendre polynomials when multiphoton ionization is compared to single-photon ionization. We give a full account of our experimental methodology for measuring the multiphoton PECD and derive quantitative measures that we apply on camphor, fenchone and norcamphor. Differe...
متن کاملEnantiomeric Excess Sensitivity to Below One Percent by Using Femtosecond Photoelectron Circular Dichroism.
Photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) is experimentally investigated with chiral specimens with varying amounts of enantiomeric excess (ee). As a prototype, we measure and analyze the photoelectron angular distribution from randomly oriented fenchone molecules in the gas phase that result from ionization with circularly polarized femtosecond laser pulses. The quantification of these measureme...
متن کاملEnantioselective femtosecond laser photoionization spectrometry of limonene using photoelectron circular dichroism.
Limonene is ionized by circularly polarized 420 nm femtosecond laser pulses. Ion mass and photoelectron energy spectra identify the dominant (2 + 1) multiphoton ionization mechanism, aided by TDDFT calculations of the Rydberg excitations. Photoelectron circular dichroism measurements on pure enantiomers reveal a chiral asymmetry of ±4 %.
متن کاملEnantiomer-specific analysis of multi-component mixtures by correlated electron imaging–ion mass spectrometry
Simultaneous, enantiomer-specific identification of chiral molecules in multi-component mixtures is extremely challenging. Many established techniques for single-component analysis fail to provide selectivity in multi-component mixtures and lack sensitivity for dilute samples. Here we show how enantiomers may be differentiated by mass-selected photoelectron circular dichroism using an electron-...
متن کاملMass-selective discrimination of chiral molecules by femtosecond multi-photon photoelectron circular dichroism
In this chapter, the study of the chiral molecule Camphor is reported using femtosecond multi-photon ionization in combination with masscorrelated photoelectron coincidence imaging. It is shown that a relatively simple table-top experimental set-up can be used to detect massselected enantiomers with high selectivity and sensitivity. The novel technique that is coined multi-photon photoelectron ...
