Interaction of gas phase copper(ii) acetylacetonate with slow electrons
Literature Information

Understanding the fundamental processes underlying the interaction of organometallic compounds with low energy electrons is desirable for optimizing methodologies for nanoscale applications. In this work, we couple experimental measurements with theories to investigate the interaction of gas phase copper(II) acetylacetonate, Cu(acac)2, with low energy (<12 eV) electrons. Near 0 eV, a multipole-bound anion is likely to act as the doorway for the formation of a transitory molecular anion which then undergoes stabilization via a 90°-rotation of one of the acac units. The production of the parent anion competes with the dissociation processes, generating preferentially the acetylacetonate negative ion. Moreover, at incident electron energies above 3.5 eV, the electron driven fragmentation of Cu(acac)2 is likely to produce atomic Cu. These results can suggest some potential strategies for the deposition of pure copper using an appropriate electron irradiation technique.

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.
