Photofragmentation dynamics of the (N2O)2 and (N2O)3 clusters: Fragment N2O A ← X spectra

Abstract

Rovibrational distributions of N2O+ fragments resulting from the direct 640 nm photodissociation of mass-selected (N2O)2+ and (N2O)3+ clusters have been measured in a tandem mass spectrometer apparatus, via the A 2Σ+ ← X 2Π predissociative transition of N2O+. The N2O+ fragments from the dimer are endowed with significant amounts of rotational energy (45.5View full abstract
