State-Selected Ion-Molecule Reaction Dynamics.
Abstract
By analyzing the photoelectron energies in several systems, it has been demonstrated that multiphoton ionization (MPI) can selectively produce molecular ions predominantly in a single vibrational level by the proper choice of the laser wavelength employed. Thus MPI provides a powerful new technique for producing high densities of internally state-selected reagent ion for chemical reaction dynamics studies. This approach is being taken for studying the ion-molecule reactions of NH3(+) (v) which has been prepared with v = 0-9 vibrational quanta in the nu sub 2 umbrella-bending mode.
