Supersonic Molecular Jet Study of the Liquid State.
Abstract
The study of solvation of aromatic molecules (benzene, toluene, aniline) by small hydrocarbone (CnH2n+2, n = 2,3) in a molecular jet is discussed. The detection of the clusters is through laser induced fluorescence and time of flight mass spectroscopy. The clusters observed (up to 15 solvent molecules) are compared to liquid state systems; simple atom-atom potential calculations are employed to help assign geometry. Dynamical behavior of the clusters is characterized in terms of intramolecular vibrational redistribution vibrational dissociation, and vibrational energy transfer. (Author)
