Probing the transition state via photoelectron and photodetachment spectroscopy of H(3)O(-).
نویسندگان
چکیده
The H(3)O(-) anion has stable and metastable structures that resemble configurations in the vicinity of the transition state for the neutral reactions OH + H(2) <--> H(2)O + H. Photoelectron spectroscopy of this anion probes the neutral reaction dynamics in the critical transition-state region. Accurate quantum dynamics calculations of the photoelectron intensity and photodissociation product energies are shown to provide a quantitatively reliable means of interpreting such experimental observations and reveal a detailed picture of the reaction dynamics.

The transition state region of the reaction OH + H2 -. H2O + H is investigated by photoelectron spectroscopy of the H3Oand D30anions. The peaks observed in the spectra are from a combination of vibrational progressions and overlapping anion -. neutral electronic transitions. The photoelectron angular distributions indicate that two processes contribute to the spectra; these are assigned to phot...

Deprotonated thymine can exist in two different forms, depending on which of its two N sites is deprotonated: N1[T–H] or N3[T–H] . Here we report a photodetachment study of the N1[T–H] isomer cooled in a cryogenic ion trap and the observation of an excited dipole-bound state. Eighteen vibrational levels of the dipole-bound state are observed, and its vibrational ground state is found to be 238 ...

متن کاملSpectroscopy of the transition state : Elementary reactions of the hydroxyl radical studied by photoelectron spectroscopy of O 2 ( H 2 O ) and H 3 O 2 2
The transition state regions of the OH1OH→O~P!1H2O and the OH1H2O→H2O1OH reactions are studied by photoelectron spectroscopy of the O~H2O! and H3O2 2 anions and their deuterated analogs. The spectra show resolved vibrational progressions attributed to H-atom vibrational motion in the unstable neutral complexes formed by photodetachment. The positions and intensities of the peaks change markedly...
