Dissociative electron attachment to gas phase glycine generates a number of fragment ions, among them ions observed at the mass numbers 15, 16 and 26 amu. From stoichiometry they can be assigned to the chemically rather different species NH−/CH3− (15 amu), O−/NH2− (16 amu) and CN−/C2H2− (26 amu). Here we use a high resolution double focusing two sector mass spectrometer to separate these isobaric ions. It is thereby possible to unravel the decomposition reactions of the different transient negative ions formed upon resonant electron attachment to neutral glycine in the energy range 0–15 eV. We find that within the isobaric ion pairs, the individual components generally arise from resonances located at substantial different energies. The corresponding unimolecular decompositions involve complex reaction sequences including multiple bond cleavages and substantial rearrangement in the precursor ion. To support the interpretation and assignments we also use 13C labelling of glycine at the carboxylic group.

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.
