Low temperature photoelectron spectra of water cluster anions.

چکیده
Photoelectron spectra of cold (10 K) size selected water cluster anions (H(2)O)(n) (-) and (D(2)O)(n) (-) have been measured in the size range n=20-120. A new isomer with a higher binding energy than the so-called isomer I has been identified, which appears in the size range n=25-30 and for (H(2)O)(n) (-) becomes dominant at n=46. Magic numbers observed in the mass spectra of the cluster anions provide evidence that this new isomer class consists of clusters with an internal electron.

Aluminum cluster anions: Photoelectron spectroscopy and ab initio simulations
Atomic structures and geometries, electronic structure, and temperature-dependent photoelectron spectra of AlN 2 (N5192102) clusters are studied both theoretically via ab initio local-density-functional simulations, and experimentally with high-resolution measurements. The use of a theoretically well-defined energy shift in conjunction with a generalized Koopmans’ theorem enables direct compari...
متن کاملMicrosolvation of the dicyanamide anion: [N(CN)(2)(-)](H(2)O)n (n = 0-12).
Photoelectron spectroscopy is combined with ab initio calculations to study the microsolvation of the dicyanamide anion, N(CN)(2)(-). Photoelectron spectra of [N(CN)(2)(-)](H2O)n (n = 0-12) have been measured at room temperature and also at low temperature for n = 0-4. Vibrationally resolved photoelectron spectra are obtained for N(CN)(2)(-), allowing the electron affinity of the N(CN)2 radical...
متن کاملPhotoelectron spectra of aluminum cluster anions: Temperature effects and ab initio simulations
Photoelectron ~PES! spectra from aluminum cluster anions, Aln 2 (12<n<15), at various temperature regimes, were studied using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations and experimentally. The calculated PES spectra, obtained via shifting of the simulated electronic densities of states by the self-consistently determined values of the asymptotic exchange-correlation potential, agree well with the...
متن کاملComputational and photoelectron spectroscopic study of the dipole-bound anions, indole(H2O)1,2 (.).
We report our joint computational and anion photoelectron spectroscopic study of indole-water cluster anions, indole(H2O)1,2 (-). The photoelectron spectra of both cluster anions show the characteristics of dipole-bound anions, and this is confirmed by our theoretical computations. The experimentally determined vertical electron detachment (VDE) energies for indole(H2O)1 (-) and indole(H2O)2 (-...

We report the study of microsolvated CN(-)(H(2)O)(n) (n=1-5) clusters in the gas phase using a combination of experimental and computational approaches. The hydrated cyanide clusters were produced by electrospray and their structural and energetic properties were probed using temperature-controlled photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and ab initio electronic structure calculations.
