T1  - Photoionisation of the tropyl radical
JF  - Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry
N2  - We present a study on the photoionisation of the cycloheptatrienyl (tropyl) radical, \(C_7H_7\), using tunable vacuum ultraviolet synchrotron radiation. Tropyl is generated by flash pyrolysis from bitropyl. Ions and electrons are detected in coincidence, permitting us to record mass-selected photoelectron spectra. The threshold photoelectron spectrum of tropyl, corresponding to the 
\(X^{+1}A1’ ← X^2E_2”\) transition, reveals an ionisation energy of 6.23 ± 0.02 eV, in good agreement with Rydberg extrapolations, but slightly lower than the value derived from earlier photoelectron spectra. Several vibrations can be resolved and are reassigned to the C–C stretch mode \(ν_{16}^+\) and to a combination of \(ν_{16}^+\) with the ring breathing mode \(ν_2^+\). Above 10.55 eV dissociative photoionisation of tropyl is observed, leading to the formation of \(C_5H_5^+\) and \(C_2H_2\).

T1  - Threshold photoelectron spectroscopy of IO and IOH
JF  - ChemPhysChem
N2  - Iodine oxides appear as reactive intermediates in atmospheric chemistry. Here, we investigate IO and HOI by mass‐selective threshold photoelectron spectroscopy (ms‐TPES), using synchrotron radiation. IO and HOI are generated by photolyzing iodine in the presence of ozone. For both molecules, accurate ionization energies are determined, 9.71±0.02 eV for IO and 9.79±0.02 eV for HOI. The strong spin‐spin interaction in the 3Σ− ground state of IO+ leads to an energy splitting into the Ω=0 and Ω=±1 sublevels. Upon ionization, the I−O bond shortens significantly in both molecules; thus, a vibrational progression, assigned to the I−O stretch, is apparent in both spectra.
