The electronic spectra of cold benzylium (C6H5-CH2+) and 1-phenylethyl (C6H5-CH-CH3+)cations have been recorded via photofragment spectroscopy. Benzylium and 1-phenylethyl cations produced from electrosprayed benzylamine and…

We present gas-phase InfraRed Multiple Photon Dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy of cationic phenanthrene, pyrene, and perylene over the 100$-$1700 cm$^{-1}$ (6-95 $\mu$m) spectral range. This range covers both local vibrational modes…

We report on a common fragment ion formed during the electron-ionization-induced fragmentation of three different three-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), fluorene (C$_{13}$H$_{10}$), 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene (C$_{14}$H$_{12}$),…

We present the experimental InfraRed Multiple Photon Dissociation (IRMPD) spectrum and fragmentation mass spectrum of the irregular, cationic PAH dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (C$_{24}$H$_{14}^+$) in the 6-40 $\mu$m / 250-1650 cm$^{-1}$ range. The use…

Photoelectron photoion coincidence spectroscopy has been used to measure the threshold photoelectron spectrum of 1-ethynylpyrene and to obtain the breakdown graph describing the dissociation of the 1-ethynylpyrene cation. The threshold…

Fragmentation is an important decay mechanism for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) under harsh interstellar conditions and represents a possible formation pathway for small molecules such as H2, C2H2, C2H4. Our aim is to investigate…

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) ions are crucial intermediates in interstellar chemistry and may play a key role in the infrared emission features observed in space. Here, we investigate the infrared spectra of the indenyl…

A photofragmentation study of gas-phase indole (C$_8$H$_7$N) upon single-photon ionization at a photon energy of 420 eV is presented. Indole was primarily inner-shell ionized at its nitrogen and carbon $1s$ orbitals. Electrons and ions were…

The fragment of the 1-methylpyrene cation, C17H11+, is expected to exist in two isomeric forms, 1-pyrenemethylium PyrCH2+ and the tropylium containing species PyrC7+ . We measured the infrared (IR) action spectrum of cold C17H11+ tagged…

Anharmonicity strongly influences the absorption and emission spectra of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules. Here, IR-UV ion-dip spectroscopy experiments together with detailed anharmonic computations reveal the presence of…

Ultrashort XUV pulses of the Free-Electron-LASer in Hamburg (FLASH) were used to investigate laser-induced fragmentation patterns of the prototypical chiral molecule 1-iodo-2-methyl-butane (C$_5$H$_{11}$I) in a pump-probe scheme. Ion…

Photons emitted from high-energy electron beam interactions with high-field systems, such as the upcoming FACET-II experiments at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, may provide deep insight into the electron beam's underlying dynamics at…

We report on the fragmentation of the water molecule by $1$ MeV H$^{+}$, He$^{+}$ and 650 keV N$^{+}$ ion impact. The fragment-ion energy spectra were measured by an electrostatic spectrometer at different observation angles. The obtained…

PAHs constitute a major component of the interstellar medium carbon budget, locking up to 10--20% of the elemental carbon. Sequential fragmentation induced by energetic photons leads to the formation of new species, including fullerenes.…

Formic acid is much more abundant in the solid state, both in interstellar ices and cometary ices, than in the interstellar gas (ice/gas ~ 10^{4}) and this point remains a puzzle. The goal of this work is to experimentally study ionization…

A gas-phase optical spectrum of a large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) cation - C78H26 +- in the 410-610 nm range is presented. This large all-benzenoid PAH should be large enough to be stable with respect to photodissociation in the…

The presence of methyl alcohol or methanol (CH$_3$OH) in several astrophysical environments has been characterized by its high abundance that depends on both the production rate and the destruction rate. In the present work, the…

We upgraded the chemical network from the UMIST Database for Astrochemistry 2006 to include isotopes such as ^{13}C and ^{18}O. This includes all corresponding isotopologues, their chemical reactions and the properly scaled reaction rate…

We investigated the dissociation of dications and trications of three polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), fluorene, phenanthrene, and pyrene. PAHs are a family of molecules ubiquitous in space and involved in much of the chemistry of…

The feasibility of low-energy fragmentation experiments using a magnetic spectrometer is discussed. The main challenge is the multiplicity of the ionic charge states, which can hamper the identification in both Z and A of the fragments.…
