Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Novel experiments will be performed to study of the partial photofragmentation of small van der Waals and hydrogen-bonded clusters. Small clusters (principally binary complexes) will be produced and cooled in a pulsed molecular beam and photodissociated using pulsed ultra-violet lasers.Laser induced florescence will be used to interrogate the fragmentation products with particular emphasis being paid to examples which do ont result in total fragmentation of the complex but leave bound open-shell complexes. The quantum yield for partial fragmentation using methods will be investigated both as a function of chemical system and the photodissociastion wavelength employed. The open-shell clusters generated in this manner are expected to be highly internally excited and, in addition to elucidating the nature of the fragmentation dynamics, the laser exctiation spectrum will provide detailed information on both the ground and excited electronic states of this important class of molecules.
