AbstractPhotoelectron photoion coincidence (PEPICO) spectroscopy as an attractive new technique for combustion analysis was used in a fixed-photon-energy configuration to provide quantitative species profiles in laminar premixed flames. While such measurements are conventionally performed with molecular-beam mass spectrometry (MBMS) using electron ionization (EI) or vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photoionization (PI) with synchrotron radiation, these techniques have some limitations. The possibility to record photoelectron spectra (PES) simultaneously with photoionization data, providing fingerprint information for reliable species identification, presents a significant advantage of PEPICO spectroscopy especially in complex reactive mixtures. The multiplex approach presented here, enhanced by the imaging capabilities of the electron and ion detection in the so-called double-imaging PEPICO scheme (i

The vacuum ultraviolet beamline BL03U with a photon energy range from 7 eV upwards has been constructed at the 3.5 GeV Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility. Equipped with an APPLE-Knot undulator, this beamline is dedicated to angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. An energy-resolving power of higher than 4.6 × 104 has been achieved in the photon energy range 21.6–48 eV, which is almost the same as the theoretical estimation.

AbstractProline is a unique amino-acid, with a secondary amine fixed within a pyrrolidine ring providing specific structural properties to proline-rich biopolymers. Gas-phase proline possesses four main H-bond stabilized conformers differing by the ring puckering and carboxylic acid orientation. The latter defines two classes of conformation, whose large ionization energy difference allows a unique conformer-class tagging via electron spectroscopy. Photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) is an intense chiroptical effect sensitive to molecular structures, hence theorized to be highly conformation-dependent. Here, we present experimental evidence of an intense and striking conformer-specific PECD, measured in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photoionization of proline, as well as a conformer-dependent cation fragmentation behavior. This finding, combined with theoretical modeling, allows a refinement of the conformational landscape and energetic ordering, that proves inaccessible to current molecular electronic structure calculations. Additionally, astrochemical implications regarding a possible link of PECD to the origin of life’s homochirality are considered in terms of plausible temperature constraints.

The gas phase absorption spectra of 2-chloro-1,1-difluoroethene, cis- and trans-1-chloro-1,2-difluoroethene have been measured in the photon energy range from 6.5 to 25 eV. The π → π* transition is assigned to bands centered around 7.17 – 7.20 eV for all three isomers. Four Rydberg series are observed in all the spectra, converging to the π ionization potential: two np-type Rydberg series, one ns, and one nd series are assigned. The convergence limits are: 9.84 eV (2-chloro-1,1-difluoroethene), 9.86 eV (trans-1-chloro-1,2-difluoroethene), and 9.85 eV (trans-1-chloro-1,2-difluoroethene). In the case of 2-chloro-1,1-difluoroethene four additional Rydberg series are found converging to the nCl ionization potential. The convergence limit of these series is 12.15 eV.Above 12 eV broad absorption bands dominate the spectra.

Abstract Pure acetonitrile (CH3CN) and mixed CO:CH3CN and H2O:CH3CN ices have been irradiated at 15 K with vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photons in the 7–13.6 eV range using synchrotron radiation. VUV photodesorption yields of CH3CN and of photoproducts have been derived as a function of the incident photon energy. The coadsorption of CH3CN with CO and H2O molecules, which are expected to be among the main constituents of interstellar ices, is found to have no significant influence on the VUV photodesorption spectra of CH3CN, CHCN•, HCN, CN•, and CH3•. Contrary to what has generally been evidenced for most of the condensed molecules, these findings point toward a desorption process for which the CH3CN molecule that absorbs the VUV photon is the one desorbing. It can be ejected in the gas phase as intact CH3CN or in the form of its photodissociation fragments. Astrophysical VUV photodesorption yields, applicable to different locations, are derived and can be incorporated into astrochemical modeling. They vary from 0.67(± 0.33) × 10−5 to 2.0(± 1.0) × 10−5 molecule photon−1 for CH3CN depending on the region considered, which is high compared to other organic molecules such as methanol. These results could explain the multiple detections of gas-phase CH3CN in different regions of the interstellar medium and are well correlated to astrophysical observations of the Horsehead nebula and of protoplanetary disks (such as TW Hya and HD 163296).
