heal.abstract | The mass spectra for both horizontal and vertical polarizations and the angular distributions of fragment ions arising from Coulomb explosion of tetrahedral methyl iodide (CH3I) ions, obtained at a laser intensity of 10(16) W cm(-2) are presented. All fragment ion distributions are peaked along the direction corresponding to collinearity of the,laser electric field with the time-of-flight mass spectrometer axis. The In+ ion (n less than or equal to 7) angular distributions from the dissociation of the parent ions are all of similar widths, which would imply a geometric, as opposed to dynamic, alignment. Additionally, the lower-charged I ions have an isotropic component that decreases as the charge state increases. Measurements of the CHm+ (m less than or equal to 3), Cp+ (p less than or equal to 4) and H+ ion distributions show that these are also maximal along the polarization direction. Furthermore, there is also a CH22+ ion peak present in the CH, group, which has a distribution similar to those measured for the other ions., This mass peak is the prominent multi-charged ion in this group. As the CH3I molecule is initially tetrahedral, these results suggest that the molecular structure undergoes a change such that the H-C and C-I bonds tend to lie along the field. Several authors have described work which first aligned CH3I molecules. with a nanosecond laser and then photodissociated with a femtosecond laser,, to produce fragment ion distributions. This is the first time that the angular distributions from a tetrahedral molecule have been presented using femtosecond laser pulses only and in the case of CH3I, for fragments other than CH3+ and I+. The fragment energetics from the single CH3I molecule have been compared with those from recent work dealing with the Coulomb explosion of CH3I clusters. | en |
