Abstract
The development of the velocity map ion imaging (VMI) technique has greatly advanced the study of photodissociation dynamics. The high-resolution imaging study of the photodissociation allows for the acquisition of precise and detailed information on the fragments. This information can further provide more insight into the energy partition and potential pathways involved in the photodissociation process. In this study, we report the investigation on the photodissociation of OCS+ via the A2ΠΩ=1/2,3/2 states following the excitation of A2Π (ν1 0 ν3) ← X2Π (0 0 0) by using time-sliced VMI techniques in the ultraviolet region. Our investigation revealed significant mode-dependent recoil anisotropies and branching ratios of two product channels for both Ω = 1/2 and Ω = 3/2. The photolysis products also exhibited dramatic deviation in angular distributions and generally comparable kinetic energy distributions following the excitation to the same vibrational modes of A2ΠΩ states with two separate spin-orbit components. According to the observation in this study and previously reported photodissociation mechanisms of the OCS+ cations, the decay from the A2Π3/2 state was more likely via the internal conversion to high rovibrational states of the X2Π state, in comparison to the A2Π1/2 state.

Abstract
The identification and analysis of quantum state-specific effects can significantly deepen our understanding of detailed photodissociation dynamics. Here, we report an experimental investigation on the vibrational state-mediated photodissociation of the OCS+ cation via the A2Π1/2 (ν1 0 ν3) states by using the velocity map ion imaging technique over the photolysis wavelength range of 263-294 nm. It was found that the electronically excited S+ product channel S+(2Du) + CO (X1Σ+) was significantly enhanced when the ν1 and ν3 vibrational modes were excited. Clear deviations in the branching ratios of the electronically excited S+ channel were observed when the vibrational modes ν1 and ν3 were selectively excited. The results reveal that vibrationally excited states play a vital role in influencing the nonadiabatic couplings in the photodissociation process.

Abstract
The X(+ 2)Π ← X (1)Σ(+) photoionizing transition of iodoacetylene (HC2I) has been investigated by pulsed-field-ionization zero-kinetic-energy (PFI-ZEKE) photoelectron spectroscopy. The resolution of the rotational structure of the spectra and its analysis provided information on the structure of the HC2I(+) cation and the photoionization dynamics of HC2I. In the ground electronic (2)Π state, the HC2I(+) cation is found to be linear and subject to a strong spin-orbit coupling. The first adiabatic ionization energy of HC2I and the spin-orbit splitting of the X(+ 2)Π ground state of HC2I(+) were determined to be EI(HC2I)/hc = 78296.5(2) cm(-1) and Δν̃SO = 3257(1) cm(-1), respectively. The large spin-orbit interaction almost entirely masks the Renner-Teller effect, which is only detectable through the observation of the nominally forbidden transition to the first excited level (5(1)) of the HCC-I bending mode ν5. The interaction of ∼2 cm(-1) observed between the 5(1) levels of (2)Σ1/2 and (2)Δ5/2 symmetry is attributed to a vibronic interaction with the B (2)Σ(+) electronic state of HC2I(+). The spin-orbit energy level structure of tri- and tetra-atomic molecules subject to the Renner-Teller effect and spin-orbit coupling is discussed for the two limiting cases where the spin-orbit-coupling constant is much smaller and much larger than the bending-mode frequencies.

Abstract
We study the emission of even and odd high-harmonic orders from oriented OCS molecules. We use an intense, nonresonant femtosecond laser pulse superimposed with its phase-controlled second harmonic field to impulsively align and orient a dense sample of molecules from which we subsequently generate high-order harmonics. The even harmonics appear around the full revivals of the rotational dynamics. We demonstrate perfect coherent control over their intensity through the subcycle delay of the two-color fields. The odd harmonics are insensitive to the degree of orientation, but modulate with the degree of axis alignment, in agreement with calculated photorecombination dipole moments. We further compare the shape of the even and odd harmonic spectra with our calculations and determine the degree of orientation.

Abstract
A new technique [mass-analyzed threshold ionization (MATI)-photodissociation yield spectroscopy] to probe bound excited states of a cation was developed, which measures photodissociation yield of the cation generated by mass-analyzed threshold ionization. A vibrational spectrum of vinyl bromide cation in the (~)B state was obtained using this technique. Optical resolution in the low vibrational energy range of the spectrum was far better than in conventional MATI spectra. The origin of the (~)B state was found at 2.2578+/-0.0003 eV above the first ionization onset. Almost complete vibrational assignment was possible for peaks appearing in the spectrum. Analysis of time-of-flight profiles of C(2)H(3) (+) product ion obtained with different laser polarization angles suggested that photoexcited vinyl bromide cation remained in the (~)B state for several hundred picoseconds prior to internal conversion to the ground state and dissociation therein.

Abstract
There are inconsistencies among previously reported Renner-Teller bending frequencies for the approximately A 2Pi state of OCS+. To resolve these controversies, we have computed vibrational frequencies using high-level excited electronic state ab initio equation-of-motion coupled cluster methods. On the basis of equation-of-motion coupled cluster theory including single, double, and iterative inclusion of partial triple excitations (EOM-CC3) paired with the correlation-consistent polarized valence quadruple-zeta basis set (cc-pVQZ), we predict harmonic bending frequencies of 364 and 401 cm-1 for the A' and A" components of approximately A 2Pi OCS+, respectively. Particularly for the upper Renner-Teller component, these results are lower than the theoretical predictions of 370 and 459 cm-1 reported by Chen, Hochlaf, Rosmus, He, and Ng [J. Chem. Phys. 2002, 116, 5612]. Instead, the presently computed bending frequencies are more consistent with the experimentally derived average value of 357 +/- 5 cm-1 recently reported by Sommavilla and Merkt [J. Phys. Chem. A 2004, 108, 9970], lending credence to the spectral assignments made in this later work. The two components of the Renner-Teller bending frequencies of approximately X 2Pi OCS+ are similarly predicted to be 396 and 453 cm-1. Anharmonicity constants arising from a quartic force field computed at the cc-pVQZ EOM-CC3 level of theory are given, to provide a more complete characterization of the potential energy surface of the approximately A 2Pi state of OCS+.

Abstract
One-photon mass-analyzed threshold ionization (MATI) spectrum of trans-C(2)H(2)Cl(2) was obtained by using vacuum ultraviolet radiation generated by four-wave mixing in Kr. The ionization energy determined from the position of the 0-0 band in the spectrum was 9.6306 +/- 0.0006 eV. Ten vibrational fundamentals for the cation were identified. The spectrum also displayed abundant overtones and combinations, most of which could be assigned adequately by comparing with the quantum chemical results. It was found that channel interaction was not important for this system. The equilibrium geometry of the cation was estimated through the Franck-Condon fit.

Abstract
A high-quality mass-analyzed threshold ionization (MATI) spectrum of 2-chloropropene, 2-C3H5Cl, is reported. Its ionization energy determined for the first time from the 0-0 band position was 9.5395+/-0.0006 eV. Almost all the peaks in the MATI spectrum could be vibrationally assigned utilizing the frequencies calculated at the B3LYP6-311++G(3df,3pd) level and the Franck-Condon factors calculated with the molecular parameters obtained at the same level. In particular, the observed methyl torsional progression could be reproduced very well through quantum-mechanical calculations using the molecular parameters obtained at this level. Dramatic lowering of the torsional barrier inferred from the experimental data was entirely compatible with the B3LYP6-311++G(3df,3pd) results. The torsional barrier and the internal rotational constant determined by fits to six torsional peaks were 53.6 and 5.20 cm(-1), respectively. A brief discussion at the level of molecular orbital is presented to account for the dramatic lowering of the torsional barrier upon ionization.

Abstract
Zero Kinetic Energy (ZEKE) spectroscopy, originally developed as a high resolution form of photoelectron spectroscopy, promised a means to the unambiguous determination of ionic (ro)vibrational states. Since its original development, it has spawned numerous methodological offshoots and has become one of the default methods of choice for high resolution spectroscopy of the ion. This tutorial review describes the historical development of the method, provides some insight into how it works and assesses the impact of the technique by reviewing some of the highlights of the past 20 years as well as some of the more recent developments and applications.
