- Dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) and N-methylacetamide are two first choice model systems that represent the disulfide bridge bonding and the peptide bonding in proteins. These molecules are therefore suitable for investigation of the mechanisms involved when proteins fragment under electron capture dissociation (ECD). The dissociative recombination cross sections for both protonated DMDS and protonated N-methylacetamide were determined at electron energies ranging from 0.001 to 0.3 eV. Also, the branching ratios at 0 eV center-of-mass collision energy were determined. The present results give support for the indirect mechanism of ECD, where free hydrogen atoms produced in the initial fragmentation step induce further decomposition. We suggest that both indirect and direct dissociations play a role in ECD.

- A series of new tetrathiafulvalenes, with double alkylthiol or alkyldisulfide substitution, have been prepared with a synthetic procedure that allows variation of different substituents. The target compounds 6a-e and 15e-i are sparsely soluble in organic solvents, but TTFs 6d and 15g gave a relatively dense packed monolayer upon exposure to gold surfaces.

- Ordered films of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and porphyrins with functional (e.g. thiophene) side-groups are good candidates for (opto-)electronic applications where fast charge separation and transport are required. Such highly ordered thin films of PAHs, including discotic hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC) and C-132-C-16,C-4, as well as brominated functionalized porphyrin molecules have been grown from solutions on semi-metallic molybdenum disulfide substrates and characterized by angle-resolved valence band photoelectron spectroscopy. A vertical growth of self-assembled supramolecular columns perpendicular to the basal plane of the substrate along with their lateral ordering on the surface has been achieved. Annealing made it possible to increase the structural order in the HBC columns, with molecules positioned at a regular offset from the columnar axis. This permitted the formation of extended pi-electronic states with a bandwidth of at least 0.1-0.2 eV at room temperature. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Observation of an excited C2-4 ion

- This paper reports an experimental investigation of the electron impact detachment of C−4. We observe structure in the electron impact cross section for detaching a single electron from a C−4 cluster anion, which we attribute to the formation and decay of the C2−4 dianion. The system is energetically unstable and very rapidly decays via double autodetachment. The energy and width of the resonance were determined to be 8.8(5) eV and 1.4(5) eV, respectively, and the resonance lies 1.5(5) eV above the ground state of the neutral system. The experiment was conducted by merging monoenergetic electron and ion beams in the heavy ion storage ring CRYRING. The detachment channel was monitored by detecting neutral C4 fragments.

- Absolute cross sections for single and double detachment from H- following electron impact have been measured over a range of collision energies from the thresholds to 170 eV. The measurements were made using a magnetic storage ring. The ions in the ring were merged with a monoenergetic electron beam and neutral and positively charged fragments were detected. We cover larger energy ranges than in many of the previous experiments, and this is the first time both single and double detachment have been measured simultaneously. This allows us to present accurate ratios between the single and double detachment cross sections. On the basis of these ratio measurements we discuss possible mechanisms leading to double detachment.

Dissociative recombination of C3H4+ : preferential formation of the C3H3 radical

- Branching ratios and absolute cross sections have been measured for the dissociative recombination of C3H4+ using the CRYRING ion storage ring. The pre-eminent channel involves the production of C3H3 and H, whereas processes involving rupture of carbon-carbon bonds are clearly disfavoured. The cross section of the reaction could be fitted to the expression sigma = 5.5 +/- 0.2 x 10(-15) E-1.01+/-0.02, which leads to a thermal reaction rate of k(T) = 2.95 +/- 0.1 x 10(-6) (T/300)(-0.67+/-0.02) cm(3) s(-1).

- Branching ratios and absolute cross sections have been measured for the dissociative recombination of N2OD+ using the CRYRING ion storage ring. The most dominating pathways were found to be those eading to N-2 + OD (46%) and the three-body break-up producing N-2 + O + D (40%). The production of N2O is not observed. The cross section of the reaction could be fitted to the expression sigma = 1.25 +/- 0.25 x 10(-15)(E/eV)(-1.24+/-0.02), which leads to a thermal reaction rate of k(T) = 1.4 +/- 0.1 x 10(-6)(T/300)(-0.74+/-0.02) cm(3) s(-1). The findings are compared with those of the related dissociative recombination of DOCO+ as well as with earlier flowing afterglow measurements.

- Branching ratios and absolute cross sections have been measured for the dissociative recombination of DCCCN+ and DCCCND+ using the CRYRING ion storage ring. In the case of DCCCN+ the dissociation yielding D + C3N and those leading to two fragments containing a pair of heavy atoms dominate, whereas pathways producing a fragment with three heavy atoms play only a minor role. Conversely, for DCCCND+, only those channels preserving the carbon chain or producing two fragments with a pair of heavy atoms each are detected. The cross sections of the reactions are very similar and can be fitted to the expressions sigma = (2.9 +/- 0.5) x 10(-15)E(eV)(-1.05 +/- 0.02) cm(2) and sigma = (2.3 +/- 0.4) x 10(-15)E(eV)(-1.10 +/- 0.02) cm(2) for DCCCN+ and DCCCND+, respectively. From these data, thermal reaction rates of k(T) = (1.5 +/- 0.3) x 10(-6)(T/300 K)(-0.60 +/- 0.02) cm(3) s(-1) and k(T) = (1.5 +/- 0.3) x 10(-6)(T/300 K)(-0.58 +/- 0.02) cm(3) s(-1) were calculated for DCCCN+ and DCCCND+, respectively. These rates and branching ratios are compared with those hitherto used in astrophysical models.

- Branching ratios and absolute cross sections have been measured for the dissociative recombination of (SO2+)-O-18 using the CRYRING ion storage ring. The branching ratio of the (SO2+)-O-18 + e(-)-->(SO)-O-18+O-18 channel amounts to 61%, while the three-body breakup (SO2+)-O-18 + e(-)-->S+2(18)O accounts for the remaining 39% of the total reaction. The cross section of the reaction could be fitted by the expression sigma=(1.2+/-0.4)x10(-15) E-0.96+/-0.02 cm(2), which leads to a thermal reaction rate of k(T)=(4.6+/-0.2)x10(-7)(T/300 K)(-0.52+/-0.02) cm(3) mol(-1) s(-1).
