Photofragmentation dynamics of the (N2O)2+ and (N2O)3+ clusters: fragment N2O+ A ← X spectra Original Research Article

Rovibrational distributions of N2O+ fragments resulting from the direct 640 nm photodissociation of mass-selected (N2O)2+ and (N2O)3+ clusters have been measured in a tandem mass spectrometer apparatus, via the A 2Σ+ ← X 2Π predissociative transition of N2O+. The N2O+ fragments from the dimer are endowed with significant amounts of rotational energy (45.5
