Abstract
Photoionization of carbon dioxide clusters from a supersonic molecular beam using wavelength dispersed synchrotron vacuum uv radiation revealed that neutral cluster formation was dominated by growth in the molecular beam expansion jet. The photoionization efficiency curve of the carbon dioxide dimer at m/z 88 differed from the monomer curve at m/z 44 in that the onset was strongly curved and shifted 0.37 eV lower than the sharp m/z 44 onset at 13.77 eV. The few remaining autoionization features from the dimer ion were strongly broadened. Three broad autoionization features in the m/z 88 cruve were fitted to a Rydberg series with a convergence limit of 18.03 eV. This series had peaks and quantum defects close to that for the Henning diffuse series which converges to the B 2Σu+ electronic state of the CO2+ ion at 18.076 eV. The slight shift to lower energy of the m/z 88 series limit was tentatively related to the neutral dimer bond energy. The lower limit to the exothermicity of the reaction of CO2+ with CO2 to form (CO2)2+ was predicted to be 7.2 kcal/mole. Molecular beam conditions (80 torr, nozzle temp. =243 K) were found where the only detectable cluster was the dimer; other beam conditions (272 torr and 246 K) were identified in which the entire series of (CO2)+n, 1⩽n⩽20, ions up to a m/z of 880 were observed. These high clusters were found to fragment at photon wavelengths only 1 eV above the m/z 88 onset, producing ions at m/z 88. Higher cluster fragmentation accounted for over 87% of the total m/z 88 signal at 20 eV photon energy.
