An apparatus for high resolution photoelectron spectrometry of negative ions is described. With this machine, energy spectra of electrons detached from OH , SH , and SD-ions by 488.0 nm and 514.5 nm radiation have been measured with a resolution of 5-7 meV. The rotational branches have been clearly resolved and the electron angular distributions have been determined for the different branches. The measured rotational structure has been reproduced in model calculations; for SH-, our results confirm the threshold model of Walker. The following rotational constants for the respective negative ions have been derived: B0(OH-)=18.75(15)c m 1, B0(SH )=9.39(3)cm 1, B0(SD-)=4.87(2)cm-1The electron affinities of SH, SD have been determined to be EA(SH)=2.317(2)eV and E A(SD) = 2.315 (2)eV; the negative ion vibrational frequencies have been found to agree with those in the parent neutrals to within about 100 cm-1
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.
