Dissociation molecular, spectra

A complete description of the translational motion-internal motion coupling and its effects is, in principle, contained in eqs. (11-29), (11-30), and (11-31). Unfortunately, even for the simplified form of hypothetical molecular spectrum studied by Rice, McLaughlin, and Jortner, it has not yet been possible to perform the indicated quadratures. Even without actual calculation, our previous analysis of the theory of radiationless processes suffices to define the following general properties of the photo-dissociative act ...

Time-of-flight mass spectrometers have been used as detectors in a wider variety of experiments tlian any other mass spectrometer. This is especially true of spectroscopic applications, many of which are discussed in this encyclopedia. Unlike the other instruments described in this chapter, the TOP mass spectrometer is usually used for one purpose, to acquire the mass spectrum of a compound. They caimot generally be used for the kinds of ion-molecule chemistry discussed in this chapter, or structural characterization experiments such as collision-induced dissociation. Plowever, they are easily used as detectors for spectroscopic applications such as multi-photoionization (for the spectroscopy of molecular excited states) [38], zero kinetic energy electron spectroscopy [39] (ZEKE, for the precise measurement of ionization energies) and comcidence measurements (such as photoelectron-photoion coincidence spectroscopy [40] for the measurement of ion fragmentation breakdown diagrams). 

A book (B-71MS) and a review by Nishiwaki (74H(2)473) contain much information about the behaviour of pyrazoles under electron impact. The Nishiwaki review covers mainly the hydrogen scramblings and the skeletal rearrangements which occur. One of the first conclusions reached was that pyrazoles, due to their aromatic character, are extremely stable under electron impact (67ZOR1540). In the dissociative ionization of pyrazole itself, the molecular ion contributes about 45% to the total ion current thus, the molecular ion is the most intense ion in the spectrum. 

Irradiation of the molecular radical anion of DESO, which has a yellow color, with light of X = 350-400 nm partially restores the red color and the ESR spectrum of the radical-anion pair. Similarly to the case of DMSO-d6 a comparison of the energetics of the photodissociation of the radical anion and dissociative capture of an electron by a DESO molecule permits an estimation of the energy of the hot electrons which form the radical-anion pair of DESO. This energy is equal to 2eV, similarly to DMSO-d6. The spin density on the ethyl radical in the radical-anion pair of DESO can be estimated from the decrease in hfs in comparison with the free radical to be 0.81, smaller than DMSO-d6. 

However, the comparison of the whole series of experimental facts involving IR-spectroscopy of adsorption of molecular and atomic hydrogen as well as the change in electric conductivity of adsorbent is indicative of a more complex phenomenon. For instance, in paper [97] both the spectra of adsorption of adsorbed molecular hydrogen were studied together with those of hydrogen atoms adsorbed from gaseous phase. In case when H2 are adsorbed in a dissociative manner one would have expected a manifestation of the same bands 3498 and 1708 cm or at least one of them inherent to adsorption of H-atoms in the spectrum of ZnO. 

The molecular time scale may be taken to start at 10 14 s following energy absorption (see Sect. 2.2.3). At this time, H atoms begin to vibrate and most OH in water radiolysis is formed through the ion-molecule reaction H20+ + H20 H30+ + OH. Dissociation of excited and superexcited states, including delayed ionization, also should occur in this time scale. The subexcitation electron has not yet thermalized, but it should have established a quasi-stationary spectrum its mean energy is expected to be around a few tenths of an eV.
