Abstract

Acrylonitrile (AN: CH₂=CHCN) cluster anions, (AN)^-_n (2≤n≤9), were irradiated with a laser at photon energies of 1.17 and 2.33 eV, and mass spectra of fragment anions were observed by a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The trimer and the hexamer anions, (AN)^-₃ and (AN)^-₆, were found to be produced dominantly by the photodissociation. The results revealed, in comparison with our previous results on the photoelectron spectra and collision-induced dissociation of AN cluster anions, that the parent anion (AN)^-_n (n≥3) consists of a polymerized cyclic trimer anion (AN)^-₃, a polymerized cyclic neutral trimer unit (AN)₃ and AN molecule(s).
