The dynamics of the intracluster reaction Ba···FCH3 → BaF + CH3 in the van der Waals complex of barium and monofluoromethane (CH3F or CD3F) initiated by resonant excitation to its electronic à state has been analyzed on the femtosecond timescale. To elucidate the mechanism we have compared the results of pump–probe experiments for the two complexes Ba···FCH3 and Ba···FCD3, both excited by 120 fs laser pulses at the resonant wavelength of 618 nm. The measured decay times of the parent ion signals are τIC = 270 ± 30 fs for Ba···FCH3 and τIC = 430 ± 20 fs for Ba···FCD3. The detailed analysis is based on the ab initio calculated potential energy surfaces of the parent complex. It is found that the reaction proceeds ia the next lower electronic Ã′ state of the complex which is populated after the initial à state excitation by internal conversion with the time constant τIC. The subsequent BaF formation out of the intermediate Ã′ state is restricted to very short times of about 50 fs for both parent clusters due to the competing dissociation of the complex (Ba···FCH3 → Ba + CH3F). Thus, the effective formation times for the BaF reaction products exceed only slightly the obtained time constants τIC for internal conversion.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
