First experimental photoelectron spectra of superhalogens and their theoretical interpretations

Abstract

Photoelectron spectra of the MX2− (M=Li, Na; X=Cl, Br, I) superhalogen anions have been obtained for the first time. The first vertical detachment energies (VDEs) were measured to be 5.92±0.04 (LiCl2−), 5.86±0.06 (NaCl2−), 5.42±0.03 (LiBr2−), 5.36±0.06 (NaBr2−), 4.88±0.03 (LiI2−), and 4.84±0.06 eV (NaI2−), which are all well above the 3.61 eV electron detachment energy of Cl−, the highest among atomic anions. Experimental photoelectron spectra have been assigned on the basis of ab initio outer valence Green function (OVGF) calculations. The corresponding theoretical first VDEs were found to be 5.90 (LiCl2−), 5.81 (NaCl2−), 5.48 (LiBr2−), 5.43 (NaBr2−), 4.57 (LiI2−), and 4.50 eV (NaI2−), in excellent agreement with the experimental values. Photodetachment from the top four valence molecular orbitals (2σg22σu21πu41πg4) of MX2− was observed. Analysis of the polestrength showed that all electron detachment channels in this study can be described as primarily one-electron processes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
