Anionic and cationic photofragmentation of core-excited N2O

• We have measured all detectable cationic and anionic fragments in singlechannel mode from N2O as a function of photon energy in the vicinity of the nitrogen 1s core-level threshold. Due to the high degree of localization of the core electrons, the two excitations Nt1s → 3π∗ and Nc1s → 3π∗ show high levels of site-selective behaviour. The observed partial ion yield for the sole anionic fragment,O−, in conjunctionwith the partial cation yields,confirms our previous demonstration of anion-yield spectroscopy as a unique tool to identify core-level shape resonances.
