Spatial separation of pyrrole and pyrrole-water clusters

Abstract

We demonstrate the spatial separation of pyrrole and pyrrole(H2_2O) clusters from the other atomic and molecular species in a supersonically-expanded beam of pyrrole and traces of water seeded in high-pressure helium gas. The experimental results are quantitatively supported by simulations. The obtained pyrrole(H2_2O) cluster beam has a purity of ~100 %. The extracted rotational temperature of pyrrole and pyrrole(H2_2O) from the original supersonic expansion is Trot=0.8±0.2T_\text{rot}=0.8\pm0.2 K, whereas the temperature of the deflected, pure-pyrrole(H2_2O) part of the molecular beam corresponds to Trot0.4T_\text{rot}\approx0.4 K.
