Probing chemical dynamics with negative ions.
نویسنده
چکیده
Experiments are reviewed in which key problems in chemical dynamics are probed by experiments based on photodetachment and/or photoexcitation of negative ions. Examples include transition state spectroscopy of biomolecular reactions, spectroscopy of open shell van der Waals complexes, photodissociation of free radicals, and time-resolved dynamics in clusters. The experimental methods used in these investigations are described along with representative systems that have been studied.

Probing the transition state with negative ion photodetachment: experiment and theory.
Experimental and theoretical results are presented on the spectroscopy of transition states and pre-reactive van der Waals wells using negative ion photodetachment. Several benchmark reactions are discussed, including the F + H2, OH + H2, and F + OH reactions, as well as the isomerization of cyclo-octatetraene. Photoelectron spectra of clustered transtion state precursor anions are presented, w...
متن کاملElectron binding energies of aqueous alkali and halide ions: EUV photoelectron spectroscopy of liquid solutions and combined ab initio and molecular dynamics calculations.
Photoelectron spectroscopy combined with the liquid microjet technique enables the direct probing of the electronic structure of aqueous solutions. We report measured and calculated lowest vertical electron binding energies of aqueous alkali cations and halide anions. In some cases, ejection from deeper electronic levels of the solute could be observed. Electron binding energies of a given aque...
متن کاملDirectly probing spin dynamics in a molecular magnet with femtosecond time-resolution.
We show that a vanadium-chromium Prussian blue analogue, which is a room-temperature molecule-based magnet, displays a fast magnetic response on a femtosecond timescale that is attributed to the super-exchange interaction between the metal ions. These dynamics are obtained from femtosecond Faraday magneto-optical (MO) measurements, performed at 50 and 300 K. Exciting at the ligand-to-metal char...
متن کاملProbing the surface chemistry of self-assembled peptide hydrogels using solution-state NMR spectroscopy.
The surface chemistry of self-assembled hydrogel fibres - their charge, hydrophobicity and ion-binding dynamics - is recognised to play an important role in determining how the gels develop as well as their suitability for different applications. However, to date there are no established methodologies for the study of this surface chemistry. Here, we demonstrate how solution-state NMR spectrosc...
متن کاملRemoval of Heavy Metal Particles by LTJ, ANA, SVR, BEC and MER zeolites particles: A Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study
In present study, molecular dynamics simulation of Cadmium (II), Lead (II) and Copper (II) removal from aqueous electrolyte solutions using the ion-exchange process with the zeolite particles was done. The results showed that, most of the particles had the highest affinity of ion exchanging with Lead (II) and the lowest affinity with Copper (II). The calculated mean ion-exchange ratios showed t...
