Negative ion photoelectron spectroscopy of the heteronuclear alkali-metal dimer and trimer anions: NaK-, KRb-, RbCs-, Es-, Na2K-, and K,Cs-
نویسندگان
چکیده
Negative ion photoelectron spectra are reported for the heteronuclear alkali dimer and trimer anions, NaK-, KRb-, KCs-, RbCs-, Na$-, and KzCsat 488 nm. In addition to assigning all ofthe electronic transitions observed in the mixed dimer anion spectra, vertical detachment energies, adiabatic electron affmities, and dimer anion dissociation energies have also been determined. A linear correlation between mixed dimer EA,s and a&r’ M+., (cx~. = the more electropositive alkali atom’s polarizability) confirms the presence of ionic character in heteronuclear alkali dimers. Also, vertical detachment energies and adiabatic electron affinities are reported for the trimer systems.

Resonant coupling in the heteronuclear alkali dimers for direct photoassociative formation of X(0,0) ultracold molecules.
Promising pathways for photoassociative formation of ultracold heteronuclear alkali metal dimers in their lowest rovibronic levels (denoted X(0,0)) are examined using high-quality ab initio calculations of potential energy curves currently available. A promising pathway for KRb, involving the resonant coupling of the 2(1)Pi and 1(1)Pi states just below the lowest excited asymptote (K(4s) + Rb(5...

We address a growing interest in trapping and cooling of mixed-species alkali-metal atoms. Long-range coefficients that arise in the multipole expansion of molecular potentials for unlike alkali-metal dimers are calculated. The coefficients for the heteronuclear alkali-metal dimers corresponding to different molecular symmetries that separate to nS-n8S ,nS-n8P ,nS-n8D , and nP-n8P atomic levels...

Complexes of the anion of the secondary amine 2-phenylaminopyridine (LH) with the heavier alkali metals Na-Cs have been prepared in the presence of various macrocyclic polyether crowns [12-crown-4 (12C4), 15-crown-5 (15C5), and 18-crown-6 (18C6)], which coordinate to the metal ions in all cases. Depending on the combination of alkali metal and crown, the products include separated ion pairs [(c...

A spectrophotometric method was used to determine the acidity constant of 4'-carboxybenzo-24-crown-8 in 52% (w/w) ethanol-water mixture. The acid dissociation constant, Ka, was found to increase in the presence of Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+ and Tl+ ions. The formation constants of the resulting 1:1 complexes between the carboxycrown a...
