摘要:

本文用气相作用光谱法研究了纯芘阳离子和超氢化芘阳离子C($_{16}$ H $_{10+m}^+, m = 0,6, \mathrm{\ or\ } 16$)的光稳定性。光吸收光谱和光诱导解离质谱。通过测量作为激光脉冲强度的函数的质量选择的光碎片离子的产率,确定了碳骨架的碎片化所需的光子数(以及因此的能量)。原始芘离子(C $_{16}$ H $_{10}^+$)的主链断裂需要吸收能量刚好低于3 eV的三个光子,而超氢化六氢芘(C $_{16}$ H $_{16}^+$)必须吸收两个这样的光子,而完全氢化十六氢芘(C $_{16}$ H $_{26}^+$)仅吸收单个光子。这些结果与先前报道的这些离子的解离能是一致的。我们的实验清楚地表明,当芘被氢化时,来自额外的氢原子的增加的热容量不能补偿碳主链的弱化。在光解离区,超氢化多环芳烃(PAHs)已被提出作为H $_2$ -形成的催化剂。我们的研究结果表明,碳骨架断裂可能是一个严重的竞争对手H $_2$ -形成至少对小的氢化多环芳烃,如芘。

英文摘要:

We have investigated the photo-stability of pristine and super-hydrogenated pyrene cations C$_{16}$H$_{10+m}^+, m = 0,6, \mathrm{\ or\ } 16$) by means of gas-phase action spectroscopy. Optical absorption spectra and photo-induced dissociation mass spectra are presented. By measuring the yield of mass-selected photo-fragment ions as a function of laser pulse intensity, the number of photons (and hence the energy) needed for fragmentation of the carbon backbone was determined. Backbone fragmentation of pristine pyrene ions (C$_{16}$H$_{10}^+$) requires absorption of three photons of energy just below 3 eV, whereas super-hydrogenated hexahydropyrene (C$_{16}$H$_{16}^+$) must absorb two such photons and fully hydrogenated hexadecahydropyrene (C$_{16}$H$_{26}^+$) only a single photon. These results are consistent with previously reported dissociation energies for these ions. Our experiments clearly demonstrate that the increased heat capacity from the additional hydrogen atoms does not compensate for the weakening of the carbon backbone when pyrene is hydrogenated. In photodissociation regions, super-hydrogenated Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been proposed to serve as catalysts for H$_2$-formation. Our results indicate that carbon backbone fragmentation may be a serious competitor to H$_2$-formation at least for small hydrogenated PAHs like pyrene.
