Abstract

The photodissociation spectroscopy of weakly bonded bimolecular complexes can give important insight into fundamental molecular interactions and dynamics. We have applied these techniques to a study of metal ion-ethylene interactions in the Mg+(3s)-C2H4 and Al+(3s2)-C2H4 π-bonded complexes. Experimental work is supported by ab-initio electronic structure calculations. These experiments allow us to explore and compare the chemical binding, electronic structure, and nonadiabatic dissociation dynamics of these complexes.
