Hydrogen transfer in photoexcited phenol/ammonia clusters by UV–IR–UV ion dip spectroscopy and ab initio molecular orbital calculations. I. Electronic transitions

Abstract: The electronic spectra of reaction products via photoexcited phenol/ammonia clusters (1:2–5) have been measured by UV-near-IR–UV ion dip spectroscopy. Compared with the electronic spectra of hydrogenated ammonia cluster radicals the reaction products have been proven to be (NH3)n−1NH4 (n=2–5), which are generated by excited-state hydrogen transfer in PhOH–(NH3)n. By comparing the experimental results with ab initio molecular orbital calculations at multireference single and double excitation configuration inte… Show more

“…36 This means that the major intensity in the IR transitions arises from the second solvation shell and does not provide structural information on the solvated structure of the PhOH molecule. Extensively broadened bands are also seen around 3000 cm −1 .…”

“…Various mass spectrometric and spectroscopic studies have been carried out for clusters in the gas phase to understand the proton-transfer reaction mechanisms upon photoexcitation and photoionization. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Excited state intracluster proton-transfer reactions have been found for clusters of aromatic molecules such as phenol, naphtol, 7-azaindole, and 7-hydroxyquinoline. [13][14][15][16] Formation of the proton-transferred structures have also been concluded for solvated phenol and aniline cluster cations.…”
