Absolute Photoionization Cross Section of the Simplest Enol, Vinyl Alcohol

Journal Article · · Journal of Physical Chemistry. A, Molecules, Spectroscopy, Kinetics, Environment, and General Theory
The absolute photoionization cross section of vinyl alcohol was determined by multiplexed photoionization mass spectrometry of the Norrish type II photodissociation of butanal at 308 nm. The measured cross sections at 10.005 and 10.205 eV are 7.5 ± 1.9 MB and 8.1 ± 1.9 MB respectively. Here, a higher signal-to-noise ratio photoionization spectrum of vinyl alcohol was recorded via the pyrolysis of 2-chloroethanol and scaled to the absolute cross sections measured using the Norrish type II method. From comparison of our spectrum with previously reported photoelectron spectra we conclude that vinyl alcohol is mainly ionized by direct ionization in the energy range 9 – 9.6 eV, whereas autoionization is responsible for the steady rise in the photoionization spectrum above the end of the Franck-Condon envelope at 9.9 eV.
