Molecule source

Most diatomic molecules are refractory, reactive, and heavy. Some are so fragile that room temperature collisions would destroy them. Molecules that dissoci- 

Molecule sources may be divided into three types thermal, supersonic jet, and cold collisions. Thermal sources (King furnace King, 1926 Broida oven West, et al, 1975 electric or microwave discharge Fehsenfeld, et al., 1965 static gas cell) are simple, convenient, and versatile. However, when the rotational partition function, kT/B, approaches 103, each vibrational band will contain many hundreds of rotational lines, the spectrum will become congested, vibrational bands will overlap each other, and analysis will be difficult. 

A photolysis jet (Monts, et al., 1980) works by introducing a polyatomic parent molecule into the photolysis region just behind the jet orifice. After photolysis, the normally extremely reactive photolysis products are swept through the expansion region so quickly that their only collision partners are inert gas atoms. 

In a pyrolysis jet, (Chen, et al., 1986 Dunlop, et al., 1988 and 1989) parent molecules are swept quickly through a very high temperature region just before exiting the jet. There is an art to the selection of a parent molecule optimal for production of the desired pyrolysis fragment (Chen, et al., 1986). In a pyrolysis source, the weakest bond breaks first and subsequent reactive collisions are minimized. 

Atoms in an optical trap (Doppler cooling Wineland, et al., 1978 optical molasses Chu, et al., 1986 magneto-optic trap Steane and Foot, 1991 Helmerson, et al., 1992) are confined and cooled to translational temperatures on the order of 1 mK. Ultracold collisions between such trapped atoms permit the recording of bound —free spectra with resolution limited only by the translational temperature (1 mK, which corresponds to a frequency resolution of 7 x 10-4 cm-1) (Julienne and Mies, 1989 Lett, et al., 1995 Burnett, et al., 2002). This makes spectroscopically accessible the extremely long-range regions of potential energy curves (R 10A 5Re) and otherwise only indirectly observable weakly bound or repulsive electronic states.

However, some of the conditions in the alpha ion source do differ significantly from those in conventional ion-molecule sources. The most important difference is caused by the absence of an electric field and the mode of sampling. Positive and negative particles are carried out by mass flow. Therefore it is necessary to understand the reaction and sampling conditions at least qualitatively. For this reason we are devoting this section to a description of the conditions and a discussion of some experiments which were done specifically to obtain a better understanding of the sample prehistory.

Many laboratory and even some industrial scale oxidations were historically conducted using stoichiometric, toxic, metal-based oxidants such as KMn04, K2Cr207 and 0s04 [2], However, the use of small-molecule sources of oxygen is preferable from both economic and environmental viewpoints. These oxidants include 02, H202 and NaOCl, with an additional metal catalyst if required.

Often, a single device fulfills several of these requirements, such...
