For ion TOF measurement a probe laser was used to ionize reaction products in the reaction zone. The (1 + F) resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) method was adapted for H-atom detection. The necessary vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation near 121.6 nm (for Lyman-a transition) can readily be generated by a frequency-tripling technique in a Kr cell.37 The sensitivity of this (1 +1 ) REMPI detection scheme is extremely high owing to the large absorption cross-section of Lyman-a transition,... 

Luntz and co-workers have recently carried out an impressive study that follows in the spirit of the Eley-Rideal work.44 Specifically, laser-assisted recombination of N-atoms desorbing to form gas-phase N2 on Ru(0001) was investigated. Experimental measurements of state-selectively detected N2 recoiling from the surface recombination event were obtained using resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization and ion time-of-flight methods. In this way translational energy distributions of individual rovibrational states could be obtained experimentally. In addition, N2-vibrational population distributions could be derived. 

The general principle of detection of free radicals is based on the spectroscopy (absorption and emission) and mass spectrometry (ionization) or combination of both. An early review has summarized various techniques to detect small free radicals, particularly diatomic and triatomic species.68 Essentially, the spectroscopy of free radicals provides basic knowledge for the detection of radicals, and the spectroscopy of numerous free radicals has been well characterized (see recent reviews2-4). Two experimental techniques are most popular for spectroscopy studies and thus for detection of radicals laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI). In the photochemistry studies of free radicals, the intense, tunable and narrow-bandwidth lasers are essential for both the detection (via spectroscopy and photoionization) and the photodissociation of free radicals. 

The ionization of ammonia clusters (i.e. multiphoton ionization,33,35,43,70,71 single photon ionization,72-74 electron impact ionization,75 etc.) mainly leads to formation of protonated clusters. For some years there has been a debate about the mechanism of formation of protonated clusters under resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization conditions, especially regarding the possible alternative sequences of absorption, dissociation, and ionization. Two alternative mechanisms63,64,76,77 have been proposed absorption-ionization-dissociation (AID) and absorption-dissociation-ionization (ADI) mechanisms see Figure 5. 

In resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI, also commonly referred to as resonance ionization—RI) near-UV photons can be used for ionization [60]. When... 

The focus of this chapter has been on the synthesis of new catalysts by parallel and combinatorial methods. Another aspect important to the development of new catalysts by these methods is the screening of these large libraries. We will not attempt to cover this topic comprehensively but do feel it is necessary to summarize some of the approaches that have been taken. Methods for screening libraries can be divided into both serial and parallel methods. Generally, the serial methods are adaptations of standard methods that allow for rapid individual analysis of each member of a library. Serial approaches for the analysis of libraries can be as simple as use of an auto sampler on a GC or HPLC system or as advanced as laser-induced resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization of reaction products above the head-space of a catalyst (16) or microprobe sampling MS (63). The determination of en-antioselectivity in catalysis is a particular problem. Reetz et al. (64) reported the use of pseudoenantiomers and MS in the screening of enantioselective catalysis while Finn and co-workers (65) used diastereoselective derivatization followed by MS to measure ee. 

Nitrosobenzene was studied by NMR and UV absorption spectra at low temperature146. Nitrosobenzene crystallizes as its dimer in the cis- and fraws-azodioxy forms, but in dilute solution at room temperature it exists only in the monomeric form. At low temperature (—60 °C), the dilute solutions of the dimers could be obtained because the thermal equilibrium favours the dimer. The only photochemistry observed at < — 60 °C is a very efficient photodissociation of dimer to monomer, that takes place with a quantum yield close to unity even at —170 °C. The rotational state distribution of NO produced by dissociation of nitrosobenzene at 225-nm excitation was studied by resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization. The possible coupling between the parent bending vibration and the fragment rotation was explored.
