Abstract
The topology of multidimensional potential energy surfaces defines the bimolecular collision outcomes of open-shell radicals with molecular partners. Understanding these surfaces is crucial for predicting the inelastic scattering and chemical transformations of increasingly complex radical-molecule collisions. To characterize the inelastic scattering mechanisms of nitric oxide (NO) radicals with large alkanes, we generated the collision complexes comprised of NO with propane or n-butane. The infrared action spectroscopy and infrared-driven dynamics of NO-propane and NO-(n-butane) collision complexes in the CH stretch region were recorded, while also comparing the results to the analogous experiments carried out for NO-CH4 and NO-ethane. The infrared spectroscopy is analyzed using rovibrational simulations to characterize the transition bands and to determine the vibrational predissociation lifetimes of NO-propane and NO-(n-butane). Due to pseudo Jahn-Teller dynamics, the NO-propane and NO-(n-butane) decay mechanisms from IR activation appear similar to those for NO-ethane previously reported from this laboratory (J. P. Davis et al. Faraday Discuss., 2024, 251, 262-278). Furthermore, the NO (X2Π, v'' = 0, J'', Fn, Λ) product state distributions from NO-alkane fragmentation reveal a strong electron-spin polarization and a propensity for NO products to rotate in the plane of the π* molecular orbital, yielding mechanistic insights into the inelastic scattering outcomes. We hypothesize that a geometric phase may be present, impacting the relative population distributions, in addition to the accessible pathway timescales.

Abstract
Time-resolved observations have been made of the formation of vibrationally excited NO X 2Π (v') following collisional quenching of NO A 2Σ+ (v = 0) by NO X 2Π (v = 0). Two time scales are observed, namely a fast production rate consistent with direct formation from the quenching of the electronically excited NO A state, together with a slow component, the magnitude and rate of formation of which depend upon NO pressure. A reservoir state formed by quenching of NO A 2Σ+ (v = 0) is invoked to explain the observations, and the available evidence points to this state being the first electronically excited state of NO, a 4Π. The rate constant for quenching of the a 4Π state to levels v' = 11-16 by NO is measured as (8.80 ± 1.1) × 10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 at 298 K where the error quoted is two standard deviations, and from measurements of the increased formation of high vibrational levels of NO(X) by the slow process we estimate a lower limit for the fraction of self-quenching collisions of NO A 2Σ+ (v = 0) which lead to NO a 4Π as 19%.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) radicals are ubiquitous chemical intermediates present in the atmosphere and in combustion processes, where laser-induced fluorescence is extensively used on the NO (A2Σ+ ← X2Π) band to report on fuel-burning properties. However, accurate fluorescence quantum yields and NO concentration measurements are impeded by electronic quenching of NO (A2Σ+) to NO (X2Π) with colliding atomic and molecular species. To improve predictive combustion models and develop a molecular-level understanding of NO (A2Σ+) quenching, we report the velocity map ion images and product state distributions of NO (X2Π, v″ = 0, J″, Fn, Λ) following nonreactive collisional quenching of NO (A2Σ+) with molecular oxygen, O2 (X3Σg -). A novel dual-flow pulse valve nozzle is constructed and implemented to carry out the NO (A2Σ+) electronic quenching studies and to limit NO2 formation. The isotropic ion images reveal that the NO-O2 system evolves through a long-lived NO3 collision complex prior to formation of products. Furthermore, the corresponding total kinetic energy release distributions support that O2 collision coproducts are formed primarily in the c1Σu - electronic state with NO (X2Π, v″ = 0, J″, Fn, Λ). The product state distributions also indicate that NO (X2Π) is generated with a propensity to occupy the Π(A″) Λ-doublet state, which is consistent with the NO π* orbital aligned perpendicular to nuclear rotation. The deviations between experimental results and statistical phase space theory simulations illustrate the key role that the conical intersection plays in the quenching dynamics to funnel population to product rovibronic levels.

Abstract
Photodissociation studies in molecular beams that employ position-sensitive particle detection to map product recoil velocities emerged thirty years ago and continue to evolve with new laser and detector technologies. These powerful methods allow application of tunable laser detection of single product quantum states, simultaneous measurement of velocity and angular momentum polarization, measurement of joint product state distributions for the detected and undetected products, coincident detection of multiple product channels, and application to radicals and ions as well as closed-shell molecules. These studies have permitted deep investigation of photochemical dynamics for a broad range of systems, revealed new reaction mechanisms, and addressed problems of practical importance in atmospheric, combustion, and interstellar chemistry. This review presents an historical overview, a detailed technical account of the range of methods employed, and selected experimental highlights illustrating the capabilities of the method.

Abstract
A chopper wheel construct is used to shorten the duration of a molecular beam to 13 μs. Molecular beams seeded with NO or with Br2 and an initial pulse width of ≥200 μs were passed through a spinning chopper wheel, which was driven by a brushless DC in vacuo motor at a range of speeds, from 3000 rpm to 80,000 rpm. The resulting duration of the molecular-beam pulses measured at the laser detection volume ranged from 80 μs to 13 μs and was the same for both NO and Br2. The duration is consistent with a simple analytical model, and the minimum pulse width measured is limited by the spreading of the beam between the chopper and the detection point as a consequence of the longitudinal velocity distribution of the beam. The setup adopted here effectively eliminates buildup of background gas without the use of a differential pumping stage, and a clean narrow pulse is obtained with low rotational temperature.

Abstract
We demonstrate detection of nitro-containing compounds with laser photofragmentation (PF) coupled with resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) and ion mobility spectrometry (IMS). In PF-REMPI, a laser dissociates the parent molecules, producing fragments that can then be ionized by absorption of additional laser photons. The production of these ions strongly depends on the wavelength of laser light, with ion yields corresponding to the absorption spectrum of the fragments [nitric oxide (NO) in the present case]. Combining IMS with PF-REMPI provides further specificity, separating ions according to their mobilities through an atmospheric-pressure drift tube. In this work, we use a pulsed UV laser to examine the characteristics of atmospheric-pressure PF-REMPI, the chemistry occurring in the ionization region and drift tube, and the viability of detecting ions created by both resonance-enhanced and nonresonant ionization. Probing NO in a helium-nitrogen bath, we demonstrate that the detection of ions displays single-shot response to changes in ion generation, with an ion extraction-to-collection efficiency of approximately 12%. We then evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of PF-REMPI/IMS as applied to the detection of both the explosive surrogate 2, 4-dinitrotoluene and the nuisance compound nitrobenzene.

Abstract
We present a general theory for calculating the vector and geometrical properties of the multiphoton excitation of an arbitrary atomic or molecular system. The results are applied to study the influence of the polarization of the two-photon excited state, which is usually neglected, on the intensity of (2 + 1) resonant multiphoton ionization in atoms. Two examples of specific atomic systems of practical importance are presented: oxygen and chlorine. For some cases, the effect of the polarization of the pre-ionized state can be significant and must be properly treated.

Abstract
A formalism for calculating the angular momentum polarization of an atom or a molecule following two-photon excitation of a J-selected state is presented. This formalism is used to interpret the H atom photofragment angular distributions from single-photon dissociation of two-photon rovibronically state selected HCl and HBr prepared via a Q-branch transition. By comparison of the angular distributions measured using the velocity map imaging technique with the theoretical model it is shown that single-photon dissociation of two-photon prepared states can be used for pathway identification, allowing for the identification of the virtual state symmetry in the two-photon absorption and/or the symmetry of the dissociative state. It is also shown that under conditions of excitation with circularly polarized light, or for excitation via non-Q-branch transitions with linearly polarized light the angular momentum polarization is independent of the dynamics of the two-photon transition and analytically computable.

Abstract
Laser-induced photofragmentation with fragment ionization is used to detect and spectrally differentiate trace concentrations of NO(2) from NO in NO-NO(2) mixtures. A laser operating near 226 or 452 nm ionizes the target molecules, and the resulting electrons are collected with miniature electrodes. NO is detected by (1 + 1) resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization by means of its A (2)?(+) ? X (2)? (0, 0) transitions near 226 nm, whereas NO(2) is detected near 226 nm by laser photofragmentation with subsequent NO fragment ionization by means of both its A (2)?(+) ? X (2)? (0, 0) and (1, 1) transitions. The NO fragment generated from the photolysis of NO(2) is produced rovibrationally excited with a significant population in the first vibrational level of the ground electronic state (X (2)?, upsilon? = 1). In contrast, ambient NO has a room-temperature, Boltzmann population distribution favoring the lowest ground vibrational level (X (2)?, upsilon? = 0). Thus discrimination is possible when the internal energy distributions of both fragment NO and ambient NO are probed. We also demonstrate this approach using visible radiation, further simplifying the experimental apparatus because frequency doubling of the laser radiation is not required. We measured up to three decades of NO-NO(2) mixtures with limits of detection (signal-to-noise ratio of 3) in the low parts per billion for both NO and NO(2) for a 10-s integration time using both ultraviolet or visible radiation.

Abstract
An inexpensive device is described that stabilizes the wavelength of a commercial nanosecond-pulsed dye laser. The instrument monitors the frequency-dependent interference pattern that is generated when a portion of the dye laser output passes through an external Fabry-Perot étalon. In order to maintain a fixed wavelength, a personal computer adjusts the dye laser's grating position when the interference pattern indicates that a shift in laser wavelength has occurred. Tests indicate that this device reduces the drift of the laser's mean wavelength to < 0.0001-nm/ degrees C ambient temperature change. The feedback mechanism incorporated in this design can sustain stationary frequency stabilization for indefinite periods of time.
