Ionization Energies of ClO and Cl2O2
1996
The ionization energies of chlorine oxide (ClO) and its dimer (Cl2O2) have been measured using monochromatic synchrotron radiation in the 10−20 eV energy regime in combination with photoionization mass spectrometry. The threshold energy of ClO+ (m/z = 51) is found at 10.85 ± 0.05 eV, whereas the ionization threshold of Cl2O2+ (m/z = 102) occurs at 11.05 ± 0.05 eV. The experimental values are compared to results from ab initio calculations, where three stable isomers of Cl2O2 are considered: dichlorine peroxide (ClOOCl), chloryl chloride (ClClO2), and chlorine chlorite (ClOClO). The results indicate that the experimental threshold energy of Cl2O2+ is due to adiabatic ionization of ClOOCl. T…
Optical Absorption of Excimer Laser‐Induced Dichlorine Monoxide in Silica Glass and Excitation of Singlet Oxygen Luminescence by Energy Transfer from…
2021
An optical absorption (OA) band of interstitial dichlorine monoxide molecules with peak at 4.7 eV and halfwidth 0.94 eV is identified in F2 laser - irradiated (photon energy=7.9 eV) synthetic silica glass bearing both interstitial O2 and Cl2 molecules. Alongside with intrinsic defects, this OA band can contribute to solarization of silica glasses produced from SiCl4. While the formation of ClClO is confirmed by its Raman signature, its structural isomer ClOCl may also contribute to this induced OA band. Thermal destruction of this band between 300C and 400C almost completely restores the pre-irradiation concentration of interstitial Cl2. An additional weak OA band at 3.5 eV is tentatively a…
