Anion ZEKE-spectroscopy of the weakly bound iodine water complex.

Zero kinetic electron energy photodetachment spectroscopy of I(-)·H(2)O and I(-)·D(2)O has been performed from 27 660 to 28 500 cm(-1) and from 27 660 to 35 900 cm(-1), respectively. The I(-)·D(2)O spectral data and theoretical studies resulted in a reassignment of earlier anion-ZEKE spectra of iodide water ( Bässmann , C. ; et al.

Photodetachment-photoelectron spectroscopy of HS- x H2S and DS- x D2S: the transition states of the SH + H2S and SD + D2S reactions.

The transition state region for neutral hydrogen transfer reactions can be accessed by photodetachment of a stable negative ion with a geometry similar to that of the neutral transition state. In this work the SH + H(2)S and SD + D(2)S reactions are investigated by photodetachment-photoelectron spectroscopy of HS(-) x H(2)S and DS(-) x D(2)S. The spectra exhibit vibrational structure which is attributed to the antisymmetric stretching mode (H-atom motion) of the neutral transitions state for H-atom transfer.

Photodetachment-photoelectron spectroscopy of disulfanide: the ground and first excited electronic state of HS2 and DS2.

Photodetachment-photoelectron spectra of HS(2)(-) and DS(2)(-) are presented. The obtained electron affinities (EA (HS(2)) = 1.916 +/- 0.
