Probing chemical dynamics with negative ions

摘要

Experiments are reviewed in which key problems in chemical dynamics are probed by experiments based on photodetachment and/or photoexcitation of negative ions.Examples include transition state spectroscopy of biomolecular reactions,spectroscopy of open shell van der Waals complexes,photodissociation of free radicals,and time-resolved dynamics in clusters.The experimental methods used in these investigations are described along with representative systems that have been studied.
