Reactions of Cations Derived from Naphthalene with Molecules and Atoms of Interstellar Interest
摘要:
The chemistry of naphthalene radical cation and its derivatives (C(10)H(n)(+), n = 6,7,8,9) has been studied with molecules and atoms of interstellar interest in a selected ion flow tube. The radical cation C(10)H(8)(+) is unreactive with H(2), CO, H(2)O, and NH(3) but reacts with H, O, and N atoms. Adduct formation is the only channel detected in the case of reaction with H atoms, but additional channels contribute in reactions between C(10)H(8)(+) and O and N atoms; these latter reactions proceed through novel reaction pathways via C and CH abstraction, leading to the formation of the stable compounds CO and HCN, respectively. The closed-shell naphthylium cation C(10)H(7)(+) is essentially unreactive with atoms but associates via nucleophilic addition with most of the molecules studied. The reaction kinetics are close to saturation in the accessible helium pressure range. The naphthyne radical cation C(10)H(6)(+) does not react with H(2), CO, or H(2)O but forms an adduct with NH(3) at a moderate rate. Reactions with atoms were found to be very similar to those of C(10)H(8)(+) The implications of these results for the stability of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon cations in the interstellar medium are briefly discussed.

Dissociation of 1-bromonaphthalene and 2-bromonaphthalene molecular ions was studied by time-resolved photo-dissociation (TRPD) in the ioncyclotronresonance spectrometer at ultraviolet wavelengths and by time-resolved photoionization mass spectromctry (TPIMS) in the vacuum ultraviolet. TRPD of the 1-bromonaphthalene ion gave rate constants of 3.4×10 3 s -1 at 266 nm (4.93 eV ion internal energy)

The dissociation rates and branching ratios for naphthalene ion (naphthalene-d(8) ion) have been measured by time-resolved photodissociation at an internal energy of 7.10 (7.13) eV. Dissociation rate constants of 6450 (2360) s(-1) were observed, with acetylene loss being somewhat favored over hydrogen atom and hydrogen molecule losses. Using simple RRKM theory, these results were modeled along with prior information from time-resolved dissociative photoionization and from photoelectron photoion coincidence to give rate-energy curves. Extrapolated to threshold, bond energies of 4.48 eV for H atom loss and 4.41 eV for acetylene loss were derived, in agreement with predictions from independent thermochemical data. The C-H bond energy (4.48 eV) is discussed relative to those for neutral aromatic hydrocarbons (4.8 eV) and benzene ion (3.7 eV).
