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 impact of cosmic rays' energetic subatomic particles on climate and global warming is still controversial and under debate. Cosmic rays produce ions that can trigger fast reactions affecting chemical networks in the troposphere and stratosphere especially when a large amount of relevant trace gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, sulfur dioxide and water are injected by volcanic eruptions. This work focuses on synchrotron experiments and an ab initio theoretical study of the ion chemistry of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide radical cations reacting with water. These molecules catalyze a fast exothermic formation of hydronium ions H3O+ and the hydroxyl radical OH, the main oxidant in the atmosphere. Moreover, theoretical calculations demonstrate that at the end of the catalytic cycle, CO2 and N2O are produced vibrationally excited and subsequently they quench in the microsecond time scale by collision with the surrounding atmospheric molecules at the pressure and temperature of the upper-troposphere/stratosphere. The chemistry involved in these reactions has a strong impact on the oxidant capacity of the atmosphere, on the sulfate aerosol production, on the cloud formation and eventually on the chemical networks controlling climate and global warming models.

Abstract
The exothermic hydrogen transfer from H2 to CO2·+ leading to H and HCO2+ is investigated in a combined experimental and theoretical work. The experimental mass/charge ratios of the ionic product (HCO2+) and the ionic reactant (CO2·+) are recorded as a function of the photoionization energy of the synchrotron radiation. Theoretical density functional calculations and variational transition state theory are employed and adapted to analyze the energetic and the kinetics of the reaction, which turns out to be barrierless and with nonthermal rate coefficients controlled by nonstatistical processes. This study aims to understand the mechanisms and energetics that drive the reactivity of the elementary reaction of CO2·+ with H2 in different processes.

Abstract
A new experimental method has been developed to record photoelectron spectra based on the well-established pulsed-field-ionization zero-kinetic-energy photoelectron spectroscopy technique and inspired by the data treatment employed in slow photoelectron spectroscopy. This method has been successfully applied to two well-known systems: the X+2Πg,1/2(v+ = 0) ← X1Σ+g(v = 0) and the X+1Σ+(v+ = 2) ← X2Π1/2(v = 0) ionizing transitions of CO2 and NO, respectively. The first results highlight several advantages of our technique such as an improved signal-to-noise ratio without degrading the spectral resolution and a direct field-free energy determination. The data obtained for NO indicate that this method might be useful for studying field-induced autoionization processes.

Abstract
The dissociation dynamics of CO2 + in the C2Σg + state has been studied in the 8.14-8.68 eV region by [1+1] two-photon excitation via vibronically selected intermediate A2Πu and B2Σu + states using a cryogenic ion trap velocity map imaging spectrometer. The cryogenic ion trap produces an internally cold mass selected ion sample of CO2 +. Total translational energy release (TER) and two-dimensional recoiling velocity distributions of fragmented CO+ ions are measured by time-sliced velocity map imaging. High resolution TER spectra allow us to identify and assign three dissociation channels of CO2 + (C2Σg +) in the studied energy region: (1) production of CO+(X2Σ+) + O(3P) by predissociation via spin-orbit coupling with the repulsive 14Πu state; (2) production of CO+(X2Σ+) + O(1D) by predissociation via bending and/or anti-symmetric stretching mediated conical intersection crossing with A2Πu or B2Σu +, where the C2Σg +/A2Πu crossing is considered to be more likely; (3) direct dissociation to CO+(A2Π) + O(3P) on the C2Σg + state surface, which exhibits a competitive intensity above its dissociation limit (8.20 eV). For the first dissociation channel, the fragmented CO+(X2Σ+) ions are found to have widely spread populations of both rotational and vibrational levels, indicating that bending of the parent CO2 + over a broad range is involved upon dissociation, while for the latter two channels, the produced CO+(X2Σ+) and CO+(A2Π) ions have relatively narrow rotational populations. The anisotropy parameters β are also measured for all three channels and are found to be nearly independent of the vibronically selected intermediate states, likely due to complicated intramolecular interactions in the studied energy region.

Abstract
The reactivity ofCO 2 + with CD4 has been experimentally investigated for its relevance in the chemistry of plasmas used for the conversion of CO2 in carbon-neutral fuels. Non-equilibrium plasmas are currently explored for their capability to activate very stable molecules (such as methane and carbon dioxide) and initiate a series of reactions involving highly reactive species (e.g., radicals and ions) eventually leading to the desired products. Energy, in the form of kinetic or internal excitation of reagents, influences chemical reactions. However, putting the same amount of energy in a different form may affect the reactivity differently. In this paper, we investigate the reaction ofCO 2 + with methane by changing either the kinetic energy ofCO 2 + or its vibrational excitation. The experiments were performed by a guided ion beam apparatus coupled to synchrotron radiation in the VUV energy range to produce vibrationally excited ions. We find that the reactivity depends on the reagent collision energy, but not so much on the vibrational excitation ofCO 2 + . Concerning the product branching ratios (CD 4 + /CD 3 + /DOCO+) there is substantial disagreement among the values reported in the literature. We find that the dominant channel is the production ofCD 4 + , followed by DOCO+ andCD 3 + , as a minor endothermic channel.

Abstract
Temporal evolution of electronic and nuclear wave packets created in strong-field excitation of the carbon dioxide molecule is studied employing momentum-resolved ion spectroscopy and channel-selective Fourier analysis. Combining the data obtained with two different pump-probe set-ups, we observed signatures of vibrational dynamics in both, ionic and neutral states of the molecule. We consider far-off-resonance two-photon Raman scattering to be the most likely mechanism of vibrational excitation in the electronic ground state of the neutral CO2. Using the measured phase relation between the time-dependent yields of different fragmentation channels, which is consistent with the proposed mechanism, we suggest an intuitive picture of the underlying vibrational dynamics. For ionic states, we found signatures of both, electronic and vibrational excitations, which involve the ground and the first excited electronic states, depending on the particular final state of the fragmentation. While our results for ionic states are consistent with the recent observations by Erattupuzha et al. [J. Chem. Phys.144, 024306 (2016)], the neutral state contribution was not observed there, which we attribute to a larger bandwidth of the 8 fs pulses we used for this experiment. In a complementary measurement employing longer, 35 fs pulses in a 30 ps delay range, we study the influence of rotational excitation on our observables, and demonstrate how the coherent electronic wave packet created in the ground electronic state of the ion completely decays within 10 ps due to the coupling to rotational motion.

Abstract
We visualize and control molecular dynamics taking place on intermediately populated states during different sequential double ionization pathways of CO2 using a sequence of two delayed laser pulses which exhibit different peak intensities. Measured yields of CO2 (2+) and of fragment pairs CO(+)/O(+) as a function of delay between the two pulses are weakly modulated by various vibronic dynamics taking place in CO2 (+). By Fourier analysis of the modulations we identify the dynamics and show that they can be assigned to merely two double ionization pathways. We demonstrate that by reversing the sequence of the two pulses it becomes possible to control the pathway which is taken across CO2 (+) towards the final state in CO2 (2+). A comparison between the yields of CO2 (2+) and CO(+)/O(+) reveals that the modulating vibronic dynamics oscillate out-of-phase with each other, thus opening up opportunities for strong-field fragmentation control on extended time scales.

Abstract
Collision-induced photon emissions (CIE) were observed for keV CO(2)(+*)/He collisions from 190 to 1020 nm. The emissions were assigned to the Deltanu=0 band of the CO(2)(+*) B (2)Sigma(u)(+) --> X (2)Pi(g) electronic transition and the Deltanu= +3, +2, +1, 0, -1, -2, -3 vibrational transition progression in the CO(2)(+*) A (2)Pi(u) --> X (2)Pi(g) electronic transition. The other peaks arise from the emissions of excited O* fragment atoms and the target gas. The relative intensities of the CO(2)(+*) and O* emissions are independent of the ion translational energy above 3 keV, supporting the curve-crossing mechanism for collisional excitation. Investigation of the relative intensities within the A (2)Pi(u) --> X (2)Pi(g) emission of CO(2)(+*) indicates that the vibrational distribution is well described by the Franck-Condon principle at high collision energy, a consequence of short collision time but not necessarily an indication of vertical transitions. Below 3 keV ion translational energy, vibrational excitation in the A (2)Pi(u) electronic state was observed. The observation is consistent with the explanation that the reaction occurs at small impact parameters, in which short-range, repulsive interactions between the projectile and the target result in direct translational-vibrational excitation.

Abstract
The vacuum ultraviolet pulsed field ionization-photoelectron and photoionization efficiency spectra of NCCN have been measured in the energy region of 13.25-17.75 eV. The analyses of these spectra have provided accurate ionization energy (IE) values of 13.371+/-0.001, 14.529+/-0.001, 14.770+/-0.001, and 15.516+/-0.001 eV for the formation of NCCN(+) in the X(2)Pi(g), A(2)Sigma(g) (+), B(2)Sigma(u) (+), and C(2)Pi(u) states, respectively. The ionization energy [NCCN(+)(B(2)Sigma(u) (+))] value determined here indicates that the origin of the NCCN(+)(B(2)Sigma(u) (+)) state lies lower in energy by 25 meV than previously reported. A set of spectroscopic parameters for NCCN(+)(X(2)Pi(g)) has been calculated using high level ab initio calculations. The experimental spectra are found to consist of ionizing transitions populating the vibronic levels of NCCN(+), which consist of pure vibronic progressions, combination modes involving the symmetric CN stretch, the CC stretch, and even quanta of the antisymmetric CN stretch, and bending vibrations. These bands are identified with the guidance of the present ab initio calculations.

Abstract
In this work, the spontaneous and photolytically activated reactions of Ga and In atoms (M) with O2 (in Ar and solid O2) are studied with the aid of the matrix-isolation technique and the use of IR, Raman, and UV/Vis spectroscopy in combination with detailed quantum-chemical calculations. Vibrational spectra were recorded for several different isotopomers (69Ga, 71Ga, 16O2, 18O2, 16O18O). The results show that the spontaneously formed cyclic MO2 molecules photoisomerize to give the linear OMO molecules. The collected vibrational data were then used to characterize the bond properties of the linear OMO molecules in detail. The results are compared to those obtained for CO2(+) and neutral OEO compounds, where E is an element of Group 14. Quantum-chemical calculations were carried out at various levels of theory for GaO2. These calculations indicate that linear OMO is slightly more stable than its cyclic isomer. These calculations were also used to obtain information about the reaction mechanism, and show that the formation of the cyclic isomer from Ga atoms and O2 occurs without a significant barrier. Abrupt changes of the dipole moment and the O-O bond length during the approach of the O2 molecule toward the Ga atom mark the point on the potential energy surface at which one electron jumps from the Ga atom onto the O2 unit. The isomerization of cyclic GaO2 to the linear global minimum structure is accompanied by a significant barrier, which explains why this reaction requires photoactivation.

Abstract
Vacuum ultraviolet pulsed-field ionization-photoelectron (PFI-PE) spectra of H(2)S have been recorded at PFI-PE resolutions of 0.6-1.0 meV in the energy range of 10-17 eV using high-resolution synchrotron radiation. The PFI-PE spectrum, which covers the formation of the valence electronic states H(2)S(+) (X (2)B(1), A (2)A(1), and B (2)B(2)), is compared to the recent high-resolution He I photoelectron spectra of H(2)S obtained by Baltzer et al. [Chem. Phys. 195, 403 (1995)]. In addition to the overwhelmingly dominated origin vibrational band, the PFI-PE spectrum for H(2)S(+)(X (2)B(1)) is found to exhibit weak vibrational progressions due to excitation of the combination bands in the nu(1) (+) symmetric stretching and nu(2) (+) bending modes. While the ionization energy (IE) for H(2)S(+)(X (2)B(1)) obtained here is in accord with values determined in previously laser PFI-PE measurements, the observation of a new PFI-PE band at 12.642+/-0.001 eV suggests that the IE for H(2)S(+)(A (2)A(1)) may be 0.12 eV lower than that reported in the He I study. The simulation of rotational structures resolved in PFI-PE bands shows that the formation of H(2)S(+)(X (2)B(1)) and H(2)S(+)(A (2)A(1)) from photoionization of H(2)S(X (1)A(1)) is dominated by type-C and type-B transitions, respectively. This observation is consistent with predictions of the multichannel quantum defect theory. The small changes in rotational angular momentum observed are consistent with the dominant atomiclike character of the 2b(1) and 5a(1) molecular orbitals of H(2)S. The PFI-PE measurement has revealed perturbations of the (0, 6, 0) K(+)=3 and (0, 6, 0) K(+)=4 bands of H(2)S(+)(A (2)A(1)). Interpreting that these perturbations arise from Renner-Teller interactions at energies close to the common barriers to linearity of the H(2)S(+) (X (2)B(1) and A (2)A(1)) states, we have deduced a barrier of 23,209 cm(-1) for H(2)S(+)(X (2)B(1)) and 5668 cm(-1) for H(2)S(+)(A (2)A(1)). The barrier of 23 209 cm(-1) for H(2)S(+)(X (2)B(1)) is found to be in excellent agreement with the results of previous studies. The vibrational PFI-PE bands for H(2)S(+)(B (2)B(2)) are broad, indicative of the predissociative nature of this state.

Abstract
Using high-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy, we have determined the energy dependent vibrational branching ratios for the symmetric stretch [v+ = (100)], bend [v+ = (010)], and antisymmetric stretch [v+ = (001)], as well as several overtones and combination bands in the 4sigmag(-1) photoionization of CO2. Data were acquired over the range from 20-110 eV, and this wide spectral coverage highlighted that alternative vibrational modes exhibit contrasting behavior, even over a range usually considered to be dominated by atomic effects. Alternative vibrational modes exhibit qualitatively distinct energy dependences, and this contrasting mode-specific behavior underscores the point that vibrationally resolved measurements reflect the sensitivity of the electron scattering dynamics to well-defined changes in molecular geometry. In particular, such energy-dependent studies help to elucidate the mechanism(s) responsible for populating the symmetry forbidden vibrational levels [i.e., v+ =( 010), (001), (030), and (110)]. This is the first study in which vibrationally resolved data have been acquired as a function of energy for all of the vibrational modes of a polyatomic system. Theoretical Schwinger variational calculations are used to interpret the experimental data, and they indicate that a 4sigmag-->ksigmau shape resonance is responsible for most of the excursions observed for the vibrational branching ratios. Generally, the energy dependent trends are reproduced well by theory, but a notable exception is the symmetric stretch vibrational branching ratio. The calculated results display a strong peak in the vibrational branching ratio while the experimental data show a pronounced minimum. This suggests an interference mechanism that is not accounted for in the single-channel adiabatic-nuclei calculations. Electronic branching ratios were also measured and compared to the vibrational branching ratios to assess the relative contributions of interchannel (i.e., Herzberg-Teller) versus intrachannel (i.e., photoelectron-mediated) coupling.

Abstract
The recent developments of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) laser and third generation synchrotron radiation sources, together with the introduction of pulsed field ionization (PFI) schemes for photoion-photoelectron detection, have had a profound impact on the field of VUV spectroscopy and chemistry. Owing to the mediation of near-resonant autoionizing states, rovibronic states of ions with negligible Franck-Condon factors for direct photoionization can be examined by VUV-PFI measurements with rotational resolutions. The VUV-PFI spectra thus obtained have provided definitive ionization energies (IEs) for many small molecules. The recent synchrotron-based PFI-photoelectron-photoion coincidence experiments have demonstrated that dissociative photoionization thresholds for a range of molecules can be determined to the same precision as in PFI-photoelectron measurements. Combining appropriate dissociation thresholds and IEs measured in PFI studies, thermochemical data for many neutrals and cations can be determined with unprecedented precision. The further development of two-color excitation-ionization schemes promises to expand the scope of spectroscopic and chemical applications using the photoionization-photoelectron method.
