Abstract:

Photofragment (NO+ and N2+) excitation (PHOFEX) spectra of N2O+ via B2ПiX2Π transitions was obtained over the wavelength range from 230 to 275 nm by preparing N2O+(X2Π(000)) ions via [3+1] resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization of N2O molecules at 360.50 nm. On the basis of the approximation of harmonic oscillation between N and NO or between N2 and O, the Franck-Condon factors for the B2Пi(00n)←X2Π(000) transitions of N2O+ ions were calculated using the potential curves and wavefunctions of the harmonic oscillator. The results of such calculations were compared with the photodissociation spectra of the B2Пi(00n)←X2Π(000) transition so as to estimate the validity of the rotational constants and the bond length of the B2Пi state obtained from previous studies. The photodissociation mechanism of the B2Пi(00n)←X2Π(000) transitions of N2O+ ions and the product branching ratios were also discussed.
