Abstract
Abstract In this account, we describe the dynamics of reactions induced by multiphoton excitation of solute and solvent molecules in solutions, studied by means of a liquid beam (a continuous liquid flow in a vacuum) combined with mass spectrometry. Unique reaction intermediates and products are found to be produced and ejected into the gas phase by multiphoton excitation of the molecules in the liquid beam. The reaction dynamics were elucidated by observing the reaction intermediates and products ejected into the gas phase. In particular, we refer to reactions via UV multiphoton excitation of solute molecules, such as ketal formation of phenyl ketones and reduction by solvated electrons, and those via IR multiphoton excitation of solvent molecules, such as formation of internally hot and cold molecules/clusters in the gas phase.
