Abstract

Physical Sciences Physics Physics, Atomic, Molecular & Chemical Science & Technology Spectroscopy Technology
Small alkane and alkene molecules containing a single C=C double bond were ionized using intense 800 nm, 100 fs laser pulses. Time of flight mass spectra shows that strong dissociation of the parent molecule occurs in purely single bonded carbon chains while alkenes gain stability from the presence of a single C=C bond.
