Abstract
An effusive molecular beam of aniline vapor has been two-step ionized by irradiating it with the output from a frequency doubled dye laser. Photoelectrons ejected while exciting several different vibronic levels of its 1B2 electronic state have been kinetic energy analyzed. In all cases ions are found to be generated in their ground electronic state. Their vibrational state distribution is strongly wavelength dependent and differs remarkably from that obtained in conventional single photon photoelectron spectroscopy. The energies of several in-plane vibrational modes of aniline cations have been measured. In contrast with the ground electronic state of the neutral molecule, the ground state of the ion and 1B2 excited electronic state of the neutral molecule both appear to be nearly planar.
