Abstract
Typical features in laser multiphoton ionization of organometallic compounds are well evident in the case of the diethyltelluride C2H5TeC2H5 molecule. The use of a tunable dye laser coupled with time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectroscopy has allowed to establish that a large amount of tellurium is eliminated from the parent molecule as a neutral atom either in its ground or low excited states. Sharp two- and three-photon atomic Te resonances, which give origin to extraproduction of Te+ ions, have been identified in the optical spectra measured by varying the laser wavelength.
