Abstract

The average kinetic energy (T) released during unimolecular decomposition of protonated ammonia ion clusters, (NH{sub 3}){sub n}H{sup +}, has been measured as a function of cluster size for n = 2-8. There is a pronounced discontinuity in the generally rising function of (T) with n, reflecting the filling of the first solvation shell at n = 5.

Observation of magic numbers'' in the population distributions of the (NH sub 3 ) sub n minus 1 NH sup + sub 2 and (NH sub 3 ) sub n H sup + sub 2 cluster ions: Implications for cluster ion structures

Journal Article Peifer, W R ; Coolbaugh, M T ; Garvey, J F - Journal of Chemical Physics; (USA)

We have measured the relative yields of the cluster ions (NH{sub 3}){sub {ital n}{minus}1}NH{sup +}{sub 2} and (NH{sub 3}){sub {ital n}}H{sup +}{sub 2} produced by electron impact ionization of a supersonic molecular beam of neutral ammonia clusters, as functions of cluster ion size, neutral beam stagnation temperature, and electron impact energy. Our observation of a magic number at {ital n}=7 in the distribution of (NH{sub 3}){sub {ital n}{minus}1}NH{sup +}{sub 2} cluster ions is interpreted in terms of an intracluster bimolecular association reaction between a nascent NH{sup +}{sub 2} daughter ion and an adjacent NH{sub 3} solvent molecule, giving rise tomore »« less

Reactions of NH radicals. 6. Reactions of NH(a/sup 1/. delta. ) with C/sub 2/H/sub 2/ and unimolecular decompositions of C/sub 2/H/sub 3/N*

Journal Article Kodama, S - J. Phys. Chem.; (United States)

Photolysis of HN/sub 3/ vapor in the presence of C/sub 2/H/sub 2/ was studied at 313 nm and 303 K. The products were N/sub 2/, H/sub 2/, CH/sub 4/, C/sub 2/H/sub 4/, C/sub 2/H/sub 6/, NH/sub 4/N/sub 3/, C/sub 4/H/sub 5/N/times/HN/sub 3/ (salt of C/sub 4/H/sub 5/N with HN/sub 3/), HCN, CH/sub 3/CN, and polymers. From the quantum yields of these products, measured as a function of the pressure of C/sub 2/H/sub 2/ or HN/sub 3/, the following mechanism for the main reactions was inferred: HN/sub 3/ + hv(313 nM) ..-->..

Infrared spectroscopy of Li(NH{sub 3}){sub n} clusters for n=4-7

Journal Article Salter, Tom E ; Mikhailov, Victor A ; Evans, Corey J ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

Infrared spectra of Li(NH{sub 3}){sub n} clusters as a function of size are reported for the first time. Spectra have been recorded in the N-H stretching region for n=4{yields}7 using a mass-selective photodissociation technique. For the n=4 cluster, three distinct IR absorption bands are seen over a relatively narrow region, whereas the larger clusters yield additional features at higher frequencies. Ab initio calculations have been carried out in support of these experiments for the specific cases of n=4 and 5 for various isomers of these clusters. The bands observed in the spectrum for Li(NH{sub 3}){sub 4} can all be attributedmore »« less

Initial mechanisms for the unimolecular decomposition of electronically excited nitrogen-rich energetic salts with tetrazole rings: (NH{sub 4}){sub 2}BT and TAGzT

Journal Article Yuan, Bing ; Bernstein, Elliot R., E-mail: erb@Colostate.edu - Journal of Chemical Physics

Unimolecular decomposition of nitrogen-rich energetic salt molecules bis(ammonium)5,5′-bistetrazolate (NH{sub 4}){sub 2}BT and bis(triaminoguanidinium) 5,5′-azotetrazolate TAGzT, has been explored via 283 nm laser excitation. The N{sub 2} molecule, with a cold rotational temperature (<30 K), is observed as an initial decomposition product, subsequent to UV excitation. Initial decomposition mechanisms for the two electronically excited salt molecules are explored at the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) level. Potential energy surface calculations at the CASSCF(12,8)/6-31G(d) ((NH{sub 4}){sub 2}BT) and ONIOM (CASSCF/6-31G(d):UFF) (TAGzT) levels illustrate that conical intersections play an essential role in the decomposition mechanism as they provide non-adiabatic, ultrafast radiationless internalmore »« less

Unimolecular decomposition of n-C{sub 4}H{sub 9} and iso-C{sub 4}H{sub 9} radicals

Journal Article Knyazev, V D ; Slagle, I R - Journal of Physical Chemistry

The kinetics of the unimolecular decomposition of the n-C{sub 4}H{sub 9} radical has been studied experimentally in a heated tubular flow reactor coupled to a photoionization mass spectrometer. Rate constants for the decomposition were determined in time-resolved experiments as a function of temperature (560-620 K) and bath gas density ((3-18) x 10{sup 16} molecules cm{sup -3}) in two bath gases, He and N{sub 2}. The rate constants are in the falloff region under the conditions of the experiments. Structures, vibrational frequencies, and barriers for internal rotations of n-butyl and iso-butyl radicals and their decomposition transition states were obtained by abmore »« less
