We report on the photoionization and photofragmentation of aniline (C6H5NH2) and nitrobenzene (C6H5NO2) under single-molecule conditions in the focus of 50 fs, 800 nm laser pulses. Ion mass spectra are recorded as a function of intensity ranging from 6 × 1012 to 3 × 1014 W cm−2. Ion yields are measured in the absence of the focal volume effect and without the need for additional deconvolution of data. We observe evidence of resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization in aniline, in agreement with current literature. Phenyl-based ion fragments, singly-charged parent ions, and dissociative rearrangement processes are observed for both molecules. However, fragmentation in aniline is heavily suppressed in favor of parent ionization while the reverse is true for nitrobenzene, and multiply-charged parent ions are present in aniline and absent in nitrobenzene. We discuss the implications of these and other results as they relate to molecular stability against intense-field ionization and fragmentation, specifically with regards to the opposing behavior of the substituted amino and nitro functional groups.

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.
