Photon driven charge transfer half‐collisions: The photodissociation of CO2⋅O+2 cluster ions with resolution of the O2 product vibrational states
摘要:
The photodissociation dynamics of the CO2⋅O+2 cluster are studied in a crossed ion beam–laser beam apparatus from λ=590 nm to λ=357 nm. At all wavelengths only CO+2/O2 products are observed even though O+2/CO2 products are lower in energy by 1.71 eV. The absolute cross section for photodestruction of CO2⋅O+2 is measured and increases smoothly from less than 1×10−18 cm2 at 590 nm to approximately 7×10−18 cm2 at 357 nm. In the range 590–458 nm ground electronic state CO+2(X 2Π)/O2(X 3∑) products are formed. Arguments are made that indicate that the O2 product is selectively vibrationally excited to the highest level energetically allowed (ν=0,1, or 2 depending on the wavelength). Asymmetry parameter analysis indicates that the photoexcited state of CO2⋅O+2 accessed is repulsive and the cluster dissociates in times short compared to a rotational period. At 357 nm the mechanism changes. Arguments are made that unambiguously indicate the O2 product is electronically excited at this wavelength and the product states are CO+2(X 2Π)/O2(a 1Δ). In addition, 10%–25% of the photoexcited clusters at 357 nm may initially be formed in a bound state that subsequently vibrationally predissociates. The large majority of the products at this wavelength are formed by direct dissociation from a repulsive state, however, similar to the longer wavelength data.
A laser–ion beam study of the photodissociation dynamics of the (CO2)+3 cluster
摘要:
The results of a study of the visible wavelength photodissociation dynamics of the (CO2)+3 cluster ion are presented. The experiments were performed using a crossed laser–ion beam apparatus. The photodissociation spectrum, product branching ratios, product angular distributions, and product energy distributions are reported. The main product from visible wavelength photodissociation of (CO2)+3 is CO+2. The results suggest photodissociation of (CO2)+3 is a two-step process: photon absorption by a (CO2)+2 chromophore, instantaneous ejection of a CO2 monomer unit derived from the chromophore, and formation of a transient dimer species; this is followed by dissociation of the transient dimer species which may survive for several rotational periods.
The photodissociation of (CO2)n and Arn clusters has been investigated in a crossed-beams experiment, by means of the time-resolved opto-thermal technique. Clusters have been irradiated using both non-resonant visible and resonant infrared radiation (for (CO2)n only). The cross section for visiblephotodissociation of neutral (CO2)n clusters has been estimated to be at least four orders of magnitude

Thermodynamic values for clustering reactions of the radical cations CO2+ and O2+ with carbon dioxide were measured with a pulsed electron beam mass spectrometer. CO2+• (CO2)n has the form of a “shell structure”, i.e., (CO2)2+• (CO2)n-1. Generally, the bond energies of symmetric radical cation dimers B+•—B increase with increasing ionization energy of B.
