AbstractFormation of electronically excited metal atoms via excimer laser multiphoton dissociation of Cr(CO)6, C6H6Cr(CO)3, and Mo(CO)6 has been examined in the gas phase. The dissociation mechanism was studied by determining the laserfluence- dependence and buffer-gas-pressure dependence of the metal atom emission intensity. Each of these species was found to form metal atoms via two-photon and three-photon dissociation processes. The data suggest that dissociation occurs by both direct and sequential processes.

ABSTRACTThe KrF* (248 nim) laser multiphoton dissociation (MPD) of a series of (arene)chromium tricarbonyls has been investigated in the gas-phase using emission spectroscopy to detect the excited state photoproducts. In the MPD of all compounds studied, chromium atoms are formed in a variety of electronically excited states via a two-channel dissociation mechanism. The predominant pathway for formation of the ground electronic state and the lowest excited states is by a sequential absorption/fragmentation process, where the product of the one-photon dissociation of the parent molecule absorbs an additional photon and dissociates to Cr(I). The higher energy Cr(I) states are formed exclusively by a direct dissociation process, where the parent absorbs multiple photons prior to dissociation. The distribution of excited chromium atoms formed in the direct channel is statistical for all compounds studied and is independent of the nature of the arene ligand. In contrast, the distribution of Cr(I) states formed via the sequential dissociation channel is strongly dependent on the vibrational density of states in the arene ligand.

Abstract. Pulsed laser excitation of NO2 (532–647 nm) or NO3 (623–662 nm) in the presence of H2O was used to initiate the gas-phase reaction NO2∗+H2O → products (Reaction R5) and NO3∗+H2O → products (Reaction R12). No evidence for OH production in Reactions (R5) or (R12) was observed and upper limits for OH production of k5b/k5<1×10-5 and k12b/k12<0.03 were assigned. The upper limit for k5b∕k5 renders this reaction insignificant as a source of OH in the atmosphere and extends the studies (Crowley and Carl, 1997; Carr et al., 2009; Amedro et al., 2011) which demonstrate that the previously reported large OH yield by Li et al. (2008) was erroneous. The upper limit obtained for k12b∕k12 indicates that non-reactive energy transfer is the dominant mechanism for Reaction (R12), though generation of small but significant amounts of atmospheric HOx and HONO cannot be ruled out. In the course of this work, rate coefficients for overall removal of NO3∗ by N2 (Reaction R10) and by H2O (Reaction R12) were determined: k10=(2.1±0.1)×10-11 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 and k12=(1.6±0.3)×10-10 cm3 molecule−1 s−1. Our value of k12 is more than a factor of 4 smaller than the single previously reported value.

AbstractWe have developed a new laser source, for the spectroscopy of nonvolatile molecules in gas phase. It is based on a laser induced liquid bead ion desorption source (LILBID) combined with a supersonic beam. The cold molecules produced with this technique are sampled with Resonant Two Photon Ionization spectroscopy (R2PI) to measurement of the gas phase optical spectra. LILBID allows to bring nonvolatile molecule from liquid phase (out of a droplet) into gas phase, by means of multi photon ablation with IR photons exciting the vibrations of the solvent. Phenol and its different water clusters have been used as an example to demonstrate the method and to standardise the new experimental setup. The recorded R2PI spectral data of phenol monomer and its different water clusters obtained from this laser desorption technique are in very good agreement with the previously published data. This technique opens a new door for the measurement of molecules under microsolvation and potentially for

Solvents play an important role in shaping the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) properties of π-conjugated molecules, which in turn can affect their one-photon absorption (OPA) and two-photon absorption (TPA) as well as the static (hyper)polarizabilities. Here, we study the effect of solvent and donor-acceptor arrangement on linear and nonlinear optical (NLO) response properties of two novel ICT-based fluorescent sensors, one consisting of hemicyanine and dimethylaniline as electron withdrawing and donating groups (molecule 1), respectively and its boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY, molecule 2)-fused counterpart (molecule 3). Density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations using long-range corrected CAM-B3LYP and M06-2X functionals, suitable for studying properties of ICT molecules, are employed to calculate the desired properties. The dipole moment (µ) as well as the total first hyperpolarizability (β<sub>total</sub>) of the studied molecules in the gas phase is dominantly dictated by the component in the direction of charge transfer. The ratios of vector component of first hyperpolarizability (β<sub>vec</sub>) to β<sub>total</sub> also reveal unidirectional charge transfer process. The properties of the medium significantly affect the OPA, hyperpolarizability and TPA properties of the studied molecules. Time dependent DFT (TDDFT) calculations suggest interchanging between two lowest excited states of molecule 3 from the gas phase to salvation. The direction of charge polarization and dominant transitions among molecular orbitals involved in the OPA and TPA processes are studied. The results presented are expected to be useful in tuning the NLO response of many ICT-based chromophores, especially those with BODIPY acceptors.<br>
