C. Dedonder-lardeux et al., Evaporation after ionization in molecular clusters: application to 1-naphthol-(NH3)(n), PHYS CHEM P, 3(19), 2001, pp. 4316-4324
Evaporation after ionization in clusters has been studied in the case. From
this study, it 1-naphthol-(NH3)(n) appears that, for n greater than or equ
al to 3, all clusters evaporate at least one ammonia molecule in the excita
tion and/or ionization processes. This leads to the conclusion that the gro
und state proton transfer occurs in clusters with n greater than or equal t
o 6, and if there is an excited state proton transfer, it occurs only at n
= 5.
