  1. Isotopic Effect in Bond Rearrangement Caused By Sudden Single and Multiple Ionization of Water Mat Leonard, A. Max Sayler, Kevin D. Carnes, Brett Esry, and Itzik Ben-Itzhak J.R.

  2. Bond rearrangement An example: Vinylidene Acetylene H H C C H H C C Osipov et al., PRL 90(23), 233002 (2003)

  3. Ionization & Dissociation of water by fast charged particles (i.e. ionizing radiation) e-, H+, Xq+, (hν) + H2O  Our main interest In particular: H+ + H2O 4 MeV Xq+ + H2O → H2O+ + e- + Xq+ H2+ + O Does the H2+ actually come from water?

  4. Where does the H2+ come from? Pressure dependence shows H2+ from H2O+ is the dominant source of H2+ above ~ 1 × 10-6 Torr.

  5. Time of flight  Experiment Schematic Target cell containing water vapor Fragments accelerated by electric field + Bunched Beam, F7+ E Faraday Cup _ Fragments The buncher signal starts the clocks. Detector The first particle stops the first clock and so on…

  6. Typical Data

  7. Bond rearrangement in single ionization of water Note that H2O+ → H2+ + O is about twice as likely as D2O+ → D2+ + O, with HDO+ → HD+ + O in between. A.M. Sayler et al., AIP 576, 33 (2001) Electron impact data from: Straub et al., J. Chem. Phys. 108, 109 (1998)

  8. “Slow” Mechanism Slow tcol ~ 1 a.u. How would this process change upon isotopic substitution? As the fragments separate, the protons share the electron

  9. “Fast” Mechanism tcol ~ 1 a.u. Sudden The protons happened to be at the right separation How would this process change upon isotopic substitution?

  10. Is bond rearrangement in multiple ionization real? Momentum conservation! A.M. Sayler et al., AIP 680, 48 (2003)

  11. Bond rearrangement in multiple ionization 19 MeV F7+ + H2O

  12. Bond rearrangement in double and triple ionization of H2O F7+ + H2O at 1 MeV/amu Results: H2+ + O3+ H2+ + O+ = 0.209  0.006 % = I’ll get around to it H+ + OH+ H+ + OH+ H2+ + O2+ = 0.067  0.003 % H+ + OH+

  13. D2+ + O+ D+ + OD+ Bond rearrangement in double ionization of D2O Results: = 0.116 ± 0.006 %

  14. H2+ + O+ = 0.209 ±0.006 % H+ + OH+ = 0.116 ± 0.006 % D2+ + O+ D+ + OD+ Isotopic effect in double ionization of water Double Ionization = 0.555± 0.033! H2+ + O = 0.125 ± 0.013 % H2O+ = 0.401 ± 0.047 Single Ionization D2+ + O = 0.0500 ± 0.0028 % D2O+

  15. Sudden ionization – fragmentation H+ + OH H+ + OH ≈ 67 % OH+ + H • Mostly H2O+ • Dissociation to OH+ + H • is energetically favored • over H+ + OH OH+ + H Pair PECs from: Chen PhD 1991 Kołos et al., J. Chem. Phys. 84, 3278 (1986) Werner et al., J. Chem. Phys. 79, 905 (1983) H-O-H angle at 104.5°

  16. O + H2+ The bond rearrangement channel is very small but not significantly slower than other fragmentation processes H2+ + O ≈ 0.9 % OH + H+ • Dissociation to OH + H+ • is energetically favored • over H2+ + O • In addition, theOH + H+ • dissociation path is • kinematically favored O-H bonds held equal

  17. O + H2+ O + D2+ Isotopic preference is caused by the increasing spread of the initial nuclear wave function

  18. An interesting observation H2+ + O2+ Note that = 0.32  0.02 ~ 1/3 H2+ + O+ while Ne3+ = 0.390  0.006 Ne2+ Ar3+ = 0.326  0.003 Ar2+ CO3+ =0.35  0.02 CO2+ BR seems to be a constant fraction of H2Oq+ Heber et al. Phys. Rev. A 52, 4578 (1995) Ben-Itzhak et al. Phys. Rev. A 47, 2827 (1993)

  19. Summary • Bond rearrangement – forming H-H+ bond upon dissociation of transient water molecular ion • Bond rearrangement occurs in single and multiple ionization • An isotopic effect has been observed in single and double ionization, bond rearrangement is more probable for less massive isotopes. • The data suggests that bond-rearrangement is approximately a constant fraction of each ionization level • A sudden mechanism is suggested in which the matching of the initial and final states are the key factor • Future work • Theory –time evolution of the nuclear wave functions on the PES of H2Oq+

  20. Motivation IonizingRadiation • Radiation damage • Ionization caused mostly by secondary e- • Ionized and dissociated water damages DNA Cell e- e- e- H+ OH+ OH • Fun along the way • Isotopic Effect OH
