Ion–molecule reactions of CoAr6+ with nitrogen oxides N2O, NO, and NO2: measuring absolute pressure by shock-freezing of the collision complex

Abstract: A new method to determine the absolute pressure in an ultra-high vacuum apparatus is tested using ion molecule reactions with 6 CoAr + . In a collision with a neutral reactant, the complex between Co + and the collision partner is stabilized by evaporation of argon atoms. If 6 CoAr + reacts with collision rate, the absolute pressure can be determined by comparing the experimental collision rate with the collision rate calculated from average dipole orientation theory. The experimental results with N 2 O, NO an… Show more

“…By electron ionization inside the ICR cell, the absence of the previously studied difluorobenzene in the trifluorobenzene reaction gas was confirmed, and vice versa. To determine the absolute pressure of the reaction gas in the ICR-cell, the recently introduced pressure calibration method 55,56 was employed, using ion-molecule reactions that proceed with collision rate.…”

“…Note that NO 2 , H 2 O and CH 3 OH stick to metal surfaces, and adsorption and desorption processes lead to additional uncertainties in the pressure measurement, as discussed in detail before. [31] Liquid reactants are subjected to several freeze-pump-thaw cycles to remove any dissolved gases, before being leaked into the vacuum system. Mass spectra are recorded after varying reaction delays to monitor the reaction kinetics.…”

“…The most likely explanation for these observations are problems with the pressure measurement, since controlling the pressure is difficult for both H 2 O and NO 2 , as also NO 2 is easily adsorbed to surfaces. [31] The corresponding rate coefficients are k abs (NO 2 ) = (16 � 10) • 10 À 10 cm 3 s À 1 and k abs (H 2 O) = (13 � 9) • 10 À 10 cm 3 s À 1 , respectively.…”
