Imaging of direct photodetachment and autodetachment of (OCS)2-: excited-state dynamics of the covalent dimer anion.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a photoelectron imaging study of (OCS)-2 and compare the results to OCS-.H2O. Two electron-emission mechanisms are observed for the dimer anion: direct photodetachment and autodetachment, while OCS-.H2O exhibits only the direct mechanism. The results provide evidence of covalent (OCS)-2 coexisting with the OCS-.OCS cluster anion. The autodetachment originating from the covalent species is modeled as thermionic emission transpiring in the regime of fragmentation. The bulk statistical model is found applicable to the small anion due to the availability of low-lying excited states.

This paper reports the observation of autodetaching resonances in photoelectron spectroscopy of Au according to the process Au2 + hv=:> (Aur ) * => Au 2 + e . They appear as sharp features superimposed upon a nearly constant signal associated with direct photodetachment process from Aur :Au + hv=>Au2 + e . By altering the cluster expansion conditions, the dimer anion temperature can be varied. ...
متن کاملTime-resolved radiation chemistry: photoelectron imaging of transient negative ions of nucleobases.
Time-resolved photoelectron imaging has been utilized to probe the energetics and dynamics of the transient negative ion of the nucleobase uracil. This species was created through charge transfer from an iodide anion within a binary iodide-uracil complex using a UV pump pulse; the ensuing dynamics were followed by photodetachment with a near-IR probe pulse. The photoelectron spectra show two ti...

The photodetachment dynamics of the iodide-aniline cluster, I-(C6H5NH2), were investigated using photoelectron-photofragment coincidence spectroscopy at several photon energies between 3.60 and 4.82 eV in concert with density functional theory calculations. Direct photodetachment from the solvated I- chromophore and a wavelength-independent autodetachment process were observed. Autodetachment i...

Photoelectron velocity-map imaging and electronic structure calculations have been used to study the temporary anion (resonance) dynamics of the closed-shell site-specific deprotonated tetracene anion (C18H11(-)) in the hv = 3.26 eV (380 nm) to 4.13 eV (300 nm) range. In accord with a recent frequency-, angle-, and time-resolved photoelectron imaging study on a related but open-shell polyaromat...

The autodetachment spectrum of acetaldehyde enolate anion, CH,CHO-, is recorded near 14180 cm-’ using a coaxial laserion threshold photodetachment spectrometer. The spectrum represents transitions from u= 1 in the v) C-C-O bending mode of CH,CHOto u=O m the autodetaching dipole-bound state of the anion. The 32 rotationally resolved (0, 1) hot band transitions reported here were fit to Watson’s ...
