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

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) ..-->..

Journal Article Singh, U.C. ; Brown, F.K. ; Bash, P.A. ; ... - J. Am. Chem. Soc.; (United States)

A general method for the application of free energy perturbation methods using molecular dynamics has been developed which implements both a time dependent and a time independent procedure. The free energy difference between two states is determined by slowly perturbing state A into state B via a coupling factor lambda. This method has been applied to the transformation of methanol into ethane, ammonium into oxonium, glycine into alanine, and alanine into phenylalanine. The calculated changes in free energy for all of these transformations are in reasonable agreement with the related experimental data, which suggests the method can be usefully appliedmore »« less
