The Production and Spectroscopy of Molecular Ions Isolated in Solid Neon
Abstract
Although the mass spectrometric detection of molecular ions is common place, relatively little is known about their structures and the properties of their chemical bonds. Studies of the vibrational and electronic spectra of these species are exceptionally well suited to obtaining this information. Such studies would have the bonus of providing a basis for the development of non- intrusive, in situ laser probes for molecular ions in the lower ionosphere and in such important chemical reaction systems as those of chemical vapor deposition and microcircuit etching. Because of their great chemical reactivity, it has been difficult to maintain sufficiently high ion concentrations for molecular spectroscopic study.
