Abstract

The anionic micellar system sodium lauryl sulfate was used to produce the photoionization of 3-aminoperylene with green light at lambda = 530 nm. This is some 4.6 eV below the gas phase ionization potential and well into the solar spectrum. The data showed clearly the marked effect of micellar environment on the photoionization yield. The dependence of this yield on the intensity of the laser beam is illustrated. This is the first example of the one-photon ionization of a simple molecule with long wavelength light. The data illustrate possible designs for systems where light energy is converted to ion chemistry which may be later utilized to recover the stored energy. (JSR)
