Toluene-Water Clusters: Ion Fragmentation and Chemistry

Abstract

In this report we explore the cluster ion chemistry of toluene/water clusters. The chemistry of toluene/ammonia cluster ions is dealt with in a separate report. The particular focus of this paper concerns four main themes: association of a given resolved spectrum with a specific cluster C6H5CH3(H20) sub n; identification of particular cluster ion fragmentation patterns as a function of ionization energy; demonstration that the observation chemistry does indeed occur on the ground state ion potential surface and not the S sub 0, S sub 1 or T sub n surfaces; and association of (qualitative) cluster structure with the observed chemistry.
