F. Qi et al., DISSOCIATIVE PHOTOIONIZATION OF MO(CO)(6) IN THE PHOTON ENERGY-RANGE OF 8-40 EV, The journal of physical chemistry. A, Molecules, spectroscopy, kinetics, environment, & general theory, 101(39), 1997, pp. 7194-7199
Twelve ions have been observed in the dissociative photoionization stu
dies of Mo(CO)(6) using a synchrotron radiation source in the photon e
nergy range of 8-40 eV. The photoionization efficiency (PIE) curves of
these ions from the dissociative ionization of Mo(CO)(6) have been me
asured for the first time. Appearance potentials (AP) of all the ions
have been determined from their PIE curves and these AP values, in tur
n, bring about a series of bond dissociation energy (BDE) data for the
intermediate ions produced by photoionization/fragmentation.
