We present an experimental and theoretical energy- and angle-resolved investigation on the non-dissociative photoionization dynamics of near-resonant, one-color, two-photon, single valence ionization of neutral O molecules. Using 9.3 eV femtosecond pulses produced via high harmonic generation and a 3-D momentum imaging spectrometer, we detect the photoelectrons and O cations produced from one-color, two-photon ionization in coincidence. The measured and calculated photoelectron angular distributions show agreement, which indicates that a superposition of two intermediate electronic states is dominantly involved and that wavepacket motion on those near-resonantly populated intermediate states does not play a significant role in the measured two-photon ionization dynamics. Here, we find greater utility in the diabatic representation compared to the adiabatic representation, where invoking a single valence-character diabat is sufficient to describe the underlying two-photon ionization mechanism.

The multiphoton ionization/dissociation dynamics of molecular sulfur (S) in the ultraviolet range of 205-300 nm is studied using velocity map ion imaging (VMI). In this one-color experiment, molecular sulfur (S) is generated in a pulsed discharge and then photodissociated by UV radiation. At the three-photon level, superexcited states are accessed via two different resonant states: the Σ (' = 8-11) valence states at the one-photon level and a Rydberg state at the two-photon level.

Vibronic spectra of 3-fluorothioanisole (3FTA) in the first electronic excited state (S) and the cationic ground state (D) have been obtained by one-color resonant two-photon ionization (1C-R2PI) and mass-analyzed threshold ionization (MATI) spectroscopy. Spectroscopic measurements and theoretical calculations indicate that both and rotamers of the 3FTA molecule are stable and coexist in the S (the electronic ground state) and D states, and the rotamer is shown to be slightly more stable than the rotamer. In the S state, theoretical calculations predict a stable -structure of 3FTA, manifested by the observation of strong activation of the vibrational modes involving the motion of the -SCH group in the low-frequency regions of the 1C-R2PI and MATI spectra.

The observation of a sharp predissociation threshold in the resonant two-photon ionization spectra of EuO, TmO, and YbO has been used to measure the bond dissociation energies of these species. The resulting values, D(EuO) = 4.922(3) eV, D(TmO) = 5.

Benzene-(HS) ( = 1 and 2) clusters are the simplest prototype exemplifying the SH-π interaction. Electronic and infrared spectroscopies were applied to the benzene-(HS) clusters under the molecular beam condition. The S-S electronic spectrum was observed by one-color resonant two-photon ionization combined with mass spectrometry.
