One-photon mass-analyzed threshold ionization (MATI) spectra for the X (2)E(3/2) states of CH(3)I(+) and CD(3)I(+) were measured using vacuum ultraviolet radiation generated by four-wave mixing in Kr. Spin-orbit density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ level and spin-orbit/Jahn-Teller calculations were made to aid vibrational assignment. Each vibrational band consisted of several peaks due to different DeltaK transitions, which could be assigned by using molecular parameters determined in the previous high resolution photodissociation spectroscopic study. Possibility of generating mass-selected, vibronically selected and K-selected ion beam with decent intensity by one-photon MATI was demonstrated. The ionization energies to the X (2)E(3/2) states of CH(3)I(+) and CD(3)I(+) corrected for the rotational contribution were 9.5386+/-0.0006 and 9.5415+/-0.0006 eV, respectively.

3-Fluoropyridine (3-FP) has been investigated by means of two-photon resonance-enhanced multi photon ionization (REMPI), mass-analyzed threshold ionization (MATI) and one-photon vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) MATI spectroscopy. The aim was the determination of the effect of -fluorine substitution on the vibronic structure of the first electronically excited and ionic ground state. The S excitation energy has been determined to be 35 064 ± 2 cm (4.

Conformers have similar vibrational structures both in neutral (S) and cationic (D) states owing to the comparable force fields between their nuclei. Nevertheless, there is a continuous development of vibrational spectroscopic techniques to rigorously identify individual conformers in the designated molecule but only in the S state. We developed an inventive conformer-specific vibrational spectroscopic technique to measure identifiable vibrational spectra of individual conformers in both S and D states.

The conformational structures of heterocyclic compounds are of considerable interest to chemists and biochemists as they are often the constituents of natural products. Among saturated four-membered heterocycles, the conformational structure of oxetane is known to be slightly puckered in equilibrium because of a low interconversion barrier in its ring-puckering potential, unlike cyclobutane and thietane. We measured the one-photon vacuum ultraviolet mass-analyzed threshold ionization (VUV-MATI) and two-photon IR+VUV-MATI spectra of oxetane for the first time to determine the ring-puckering potential of the oxetane cation and hence its conformational structure in the D (ground) state.

Isolating and identifying the conformational forms of molecules are imperative processes to investigate the chemical reaction pathways of individual conformers. Herein, we explored the conformational structures of tetrahydropyran in the neutral (S0) and cationic (D0) states by varying the supersonic expansion conditions using one-photon vacuum ultraviolet mass-analyzed threshold ionization (VUV-MATI) spectroscopy. The constructed 2D potential energy surfaces associated with conformational interconversion between the chair and boat forms in the S0 and D0 states revealed that the ionic transitions observed in the MATI spectra correspond to the most stable chair conformer.

Alkylpyrazines, which are well-known as aromatic substances and traditional medicines, are interesting molecular systems, and their methyl conformations result in unique structural and dynamical properties. We explored the conformational preference of the methyl group and the highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMOs) of 2-methylpyrazine and its cation by utilizing high-resolution one-photon vacuum ultraviolet mass-analyzed threshold ionization (VUV-MATI) spectroscopy and natural bond orbital analysis to understand the relevant molecular activities. The measured VUV-MATI spectrum of 2-methylpyrazine revealed its adiabatic ionization energy and the vibrational frequencies of its cation.
