Coulomb fission in multiply charged molecular clusters: Experiment and theory.
A series of three multiply charged molecular clusters, (C6H6)nz+ (benzene), (CH3CN)nz+ (acetonitrile), and (C4H8O)nz+ (tetrahydrofuran), where the charge z is either 3 or 4, have been studied for the purpose of identifying the patterns of behaviour close to the charge instability limit. Experiments show that on a time scale of ∼10-4 s, ions close to the limit undergo Coulomb fission where the o...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics study of neutral and multiply charged sodium clusters
The fission mechanism of multiply charged sodium clusters was investigated with molecular dynamics and a new potential featuring a local density approximation second-moment approach. We show that the critical size at which 2+, 3+ and 4+ charged clusters undergo fission due to Coulomb forces depends strongly on the cluster temperature. The smallest critical sizes occur for cold clusters. Master ...
متن کاملCoulomb- and antiferromagnetic-induced fission in doubly charged cubelike fe-s clusters.
We report the observation of symmetric fission in doubly charged Fe-S cluster anions, [Fe(4)S(4)X(4)](2-)-->2[Fe(2)S(2)X(2)](-) (X=Cl,Br), owing to both Coulomb repulsion and antiferromagnetic coupling. Photoelectron spectroscopy shows that both the parent and the fission fragments have similar electronic structures and confirms the inverted energy schemes due to the strong spin polarization of...
متن کاملImaging intramolecular coulomb repulsions in multiply charged anions.
The properties of multiply charged anions are dominated by intramolecular Coulomb repulsion (ICR). Using photoelectron imaging, we show the effect of ICR on photoelectron angular distributions for a series of dianions, -O2C(CH2)_{n}CO_{2};{-} (D_{n};{2-}). The observed photoemission band of D_{n};{2-} was due to a perpendicular transition from the charged end group. However, photoemission inten...
متن کاملIntramolecular Coulomb repulsion and anisotropies of the repulsive Coulomb barrier in multiply charged anions
Photoelectron spectra of the three isomers of the benzene dicarboxylate dianion ~o-, m-, and p-BDC! were measured in the gas phase at five photon energies. Detachment features from the carboxylate groups and the p electrons of the ring were clearly observed and distinguished. The electron binding energies were found to increase from the very small value of ;0.2 eV in o-BDC to about 1.0 eV in p-...
