Abstract

One of the" holy grails" of chemical physics has been the photon-promoted chemical reaction: a case where the course of a bimolecular chemical reaction is altered by the absorption of a photon during the reactive collision,'not where a reactant is excited before the collision. We have found a photon-promoted chemiionization reaction involving a large organic molecule. These reactions may be more common than previously thought, and the ...
