Abstract:

The H atom transfer reaction in electronically excited indole(NH 3 ) n clusters is studied in pump-probe experiments with femtosecond laser pulses. By applying different probe photon energies we are able to detect the dissociation products (NH 3 ) n - 1 NH 4 for n = 1-6. Furthermore we show that the analysis of the corresponding ion signals is not distorted by contributions from larger cluster ions due to evaporation of NH 3 molecules. The formation times of the products are ca. 140ps for n = 2-4 and about 80ps for n = 5, 6.
