Photodissociation of Water Dimer at 205 nm

et al. 2004

A deuterated water dimer, (D 2 O) 2 , absorbs a photon at 205 nm releasing a fragment D atom. The negative angular anisotropy parameters are observed experimentally with photofragment imaging spectroscopy. In this dissociation, one of the translational energy distributions obtained for the fragment D atoms peaks at around 1 kcal mol -1 , which is much smaller than the maximum available energy, 16.2 kcal mol -1 . These results suggest an energy loss process of the fragment D atom, which is induced by a collision with the oxygen atom in the dimer before it leaves the parent molecule. A direct ab initio trajectory calculation for the internal collision process of the D atom in the dimer has been performed. The obtained energy loss is in good agreement with the present experimental results.

Molecular reaction dynamics is the study of chemical and physical transformations of matter at the molecular level. The understanding of how chemical reactions occur and how to control them is fundamental to chemists and interdisciplinary areas such as materials and nanoscience, rational drug design, environmental and astrochemistry. This book provides a thorough foundation to this area. The first half is introductory, detailing experimental techniques for initiating and probing reaction dynamics and the essential insights that have been gained. The second part explores key areas including photoselective chemistry, stereochemistry, chemical reactions in real time and chemical reaction dynamics in solutions and interfaces. Typical of the new challenges are molecular machines, enzyme action and molecular control. With problem sets included, this book is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as being supplementary to chemical kinetics, physical chemistry, biophysics and materials science courses, and as a primer for practising scientists.
