Abstract:Transition state spectroscopy experiments, based on negative-ion photodechament, allow for the direct probing of the vibrational structure and metastable resonances that are characteristic of the neutral reactive surface. Here, we study the four-atom F + NH 3 → HF + NH 2 reaction using slow photoelectron velocity-map imaging spectroscopy of cryogenically cooled NH 3 F − anions. The resulting spectra reveal features associated with a manifold of vibrational Feshbach resonances in the post-transition state produ… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
