    Multiphoton Ionization and Dissociation of Nitromethane Using Femtosecond Laser Pulses at 375 and 750 Nm
    (American Chemical Society, 1997) Kılıç, H. S.; Ledingham, K. W. D.; Kosmidis, C.; McCanny, T.; Singhal, R. P.; Wang, S. L.; Smith, D. J.; Langley, A. J.; Shaikh, W.
    The photochemistry of nitromethane has been studied extensively for many years. Although it is generally agreed that the principal photodissociative process is cleavage of the C-N bond to yield the methyl radical and nitrogen dioxide, there is some evidence of minor competing dissociation channels. A number of different groups have used lasers of different wavelengths, but the results of these studies vary considerably and no clear picture of the minor dissociative channels has yet emerged. The use of femtosecond (fs) duration laser pulses for photoionization of molecules is currently an area of considerable interest, since the process can lead to the efficient production of intact molecular ions. It was felt that femtosecond laser mass spectrometry (FLMS) could provide added information on the dissociation pathways of nitromethane. Laser pulses of 90 fs time duration at wavelengths of 375 and 750 nm, coupled to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer, have been used in this study, and contrary to photoexcitation using nanosecond (ns) pulses, a large parent ion, 61 (CH3-NC2+), is detected together with strong peaks at m/e = 15 (CH3+), 30 (NO+), 46 (NO2+) as well as a number of other minor peaks. This fragmentation pattern can be explained by a predominantly ID (ionization followed by dissociation) route.

    On the Fragmentation of Nitrobenzene and Nitrotoluenes Induced by A Femtosecond Laser at 375 Nm
    (AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 1997) Kosmidis, C.; Ledingham, K. W. D.; Kılıç, H. S.; McCanny, T.; Singhal, R. P.; Langley, A. J.; Shaikh, W.
    The photodissociation of nitrobenzene and the nitrotoluene isomers at 375 nm, induced by a 90 femtosecond laser, is analyzed and compared with the fragmentation by a 10 nanosecond laser at the same wavelength, The molecular ionization is attributed to a nonresonant multiphoton process, and the observed fragmentation can be explained predominantly by an above ionization mechanism (ladder climbing). The mass spectra of the three nitrotoluene isomers show differences which can be used for analytical purposes. The molecular rearrangement taking place prior to the dissociation is also discussed. For nitrobenzene, it is suggested that most of the dissociation occurs from the nitrobenzene structure rather than that of phenyl nitrite. In the case of o-nitrotoluene, it seems that the hydrogen transfer from the -CH3 to the NO2 group (ortho effect) is favored in ionic states, while the rearrangement to a nitrite structure is possible in the excited electronic states.
