A comparison with calculations, based on structures optimized by genetic algorithms, has been made to tentatively derive cluster structures which reproduce the experimental spectra.

The appearance of stable (H2O)(n) cluster isomers having a fully coordinated interior molecule has been theoretically predicted to occur around the n = 20 size range. However, our current knowledge about the size regime in which those structures become energetically more stable has remained hypothetical from simulations in lieu of the absence of precisely size-resolved experimental measurements. Here we report size and isomer selective infrared (IR) spectra of (H2O) 20 clusters tagged with a sodium atom by employing IR excitation-modulated photoionization spectroscopy. The observed absorption patterns in the OH stretching region are consistent with the theoretically predicted spectra of two structurally distinct isomers of exceptional stability: a drop-like cluster with a fully coordinated (interior) water molecule and an edge-sharing pentagonal prism cluster in which all atoms are on the surface.

By this method, clusters of the type Na(CH3OH)(n) are formed and subsequently photoionized by applying a tunable dye-laser system. The microsolvation process of the Na 3s electron is studied by determining the ionization potentials (IPs) of these clusters size-selectively for n = 2-40. A decrease is found from n = 2 to 6 and a constant value of 3.19 +/- 0.07 eV for n = 6-40. The experimentally-determined ionization potentials are compared with ionization potentials derived from quantum-chemical calculations, assuming limiting vertical and adiabatic processes. In the first case, energy differences are calculated between the neutral and the ionized cationic clusters of the same geometry. In the second case, the ionized clusters are used in their optimized relaxed geometry. These energy differences and relative stabilities of isomeric clusters vary significantly with the applied quantum-chemical method (B3LYP or MP2). The comparison with the experiment for n = 2-7 reveals strong variations of the ionization potential with the cluster structure indicating that structural diversity and non-vertical pathways give significant signal contributions at the threshold. Based on these findings, a possible explanation for the remarkable difference in IP evolutions of methanol or water and ammonia is presented: for methanol and water a rather localized surface or semi-internal Na 3s electron is excited to either high Rydberg or more localized states below the vertical ionization threshold. This excitation is followed by a local structural relaxation that couples to an autoionization process. For small clusters with n < 6 for methanol and n < 4 for water the addition of solvent molecules leads to larger solvent-metal-ion interaction energies, which consequently lead to lower ionization thresholds. For n = 6 ( methanol) and n = 4 ( water) this effect comes to a halt, which may be connected with the completion of the first cationic solvation shell limiting the release of local relaxation energy. For Na(NH3)(n), a largely delocalized and internal electron is excited to autoionizing electronic states, a process that is no longer local and consequently may depend on cluster size up to very large n."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1039/b711568g"],["dc.identifier.isi","000251772400009"],["dc.identifier.pmid","18075686"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/55571"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Royal Soc Chemistry"],["dc.relation.issn","1463-9084"],["dc.relation.issn","1463-9076"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Institut für Physikalische Chemie"],["dc.title","Experimental and theoretical study of the microsolvation of sodium atoms in methanol clusters: differences and similarities to sodium-water and sodium-ammonia"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The effects of temperature and temperature evolution are important with regard to both the cluster synthesis and the cluster dynamics upon IR excitation. In the past the combination of the sodium doping technique with IR excitation enhanced near threshold photoionization has been successfully applied to study neutral, especially water clusters. In this work we follow an overall examination approach for inspecting the interplay of cluster temperature and cluster structure in the initial cooling process and in the IR excitation induced heating of the clusters. In molecular simulations, we study the temperature dependent photoionization spectra of the sodium doped clusters and the evaporative cooling process by water molecule ejection at the cluster surface. We present a comprehensive analysis that provides constraints for the temperature evolution from the nozzle to cluster detection in the mass spectrometer.
