  3. Ⅰ. Motivation for research A. Excited electronic states of polyatomic ions Cases of very long-lived (‘metastable’) excited electronic states are very rare for polyatomic (n≥4) ions. Decay mechanisms (ⅰ) Internal conversion to the ground electronic state (ⅱ) Dissociation on arepulsive electronic state (ⅲ) Radiative decay Absolute prevalence of (ⅰ) has led to the theory of mass spectra (RRKM-QET) ‘Molecular ions undergo internal conversion to the ground state and dissociate statistically (RRKM or microcanonical transition state theory) there in’

  4. B. Discovery of very long-lived excited electronic states of polyatomic ions 1) Charge exchange ionization A+ + B → A + B+ E = IE(B) - RE(A+) IE : Ionization energy RE : Recombination energy of A+ = Ionization energy of A to the state in which A+ is in. For charge exchange under near thermal condition involving polyatomics, cross section is very large only when E ≤ 0 Exoergicity criterion’

  8. Discovery • states of C6H5Cl+• , C6H5Br+• , C6H5CN+• , C6H5CCH+• are very long – lived ( > 10 s) • All the excited electronic states of C6H5F+• , C6H5I+• do not have long lifetimes.

  9. Photoelectron spectra

  10. Ⅱ. Mass-analyzed threshold ionization(MATI) spectroscopy A. Principle 1) Outline Photo-excite a molecule to a Rydberg state (high n) lying just below ( < 10cm-1) the ionization limit. Some ions and electrons are generated by direct photoionization (direct ions/electrons). Remove these. Ionize the molecule in Rydberg state (Rydberg neutral) by applying electric field (pulse-field ionization, PFI). Scan h. Record spectrum by detecting electrons → Zero electron kinetic energy spectrum (ZEKE). ions → MATI

  11. 2) MATI vs. ZEKE Weakness • Poor resolution [ZEKE : 5cm-1 (conventional), 0.1 cm-1 (high resolution), MATI : 10cm-1], related to removal of heavy ions compared to removal of e- in ZEKE. Strength • Identification of ions contributing to each peak. • Generation of state-selected ions.

  12. 3) Lifetime of a Rydberg neutral Rydberg states (high n , low ℓ)  ∝ n3 n = 200 → ~ 100 nsec ZEKE states (high n , ℓ , m )  ∝ n4 n = 200 → ~ 20 sec A successful MATI detects ions from ZEKE states generated by PFI after a long delay time (sec).

  13. h2 h h1 B. Photoexcitation IE = 8 ~ 12eV (100 ~ 150nm) one-photon two-photon 1 + 1 Two-photon MATI • Difficult to control multiphoton processes. • Applicable to systems with a stable intermediate state with E < 5.6 eV • = 220nm. For most neutrals, 1st excited states are not stable. One-photon MATI • No complications as above. • Requires vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) laser.

Accurate ionization energies and vibrational frequencies in the ground ( X = Cl, Br, I, F ) and B2B2 excited ( X = Cl, Br ) electronic states determined. The ground state MATI spectra ( X = Cl, Br, I ) display prominent 6an progression due to geometry change upon ionization along the 6a eigenvector. Well-resolved vibrational spectra obtained for B2B2 of C6H5Cl+• and C6H5Br+• which are very long-lived states. Broad band spectrum obtained for B2B2 of C6H5I+• which has a short lifetime. ~ ~ ~ Ⅵ. Summary and conclusion 5. A routine spectroscopic technique, VUV-MATI, has been developed to record vibrational spectra of polyatomic ions.
