Chemical-Reactivity in Microscopic Systems - The Nucleophilic-Substitution of Halogenated Benzene Ions by Ammonia Studied in Molecular Clusters
The reactivity of small dihalogenated benzene ions clustered with ammonia has been investigated through mass-selected two-color two-photon ionization. Two reaction channels are evidenced : halogen elimination and hydrogen halide elimination. Appearance thresholds of the different reactive paths have been measured as well as the kinetics of the reactions. From these measurements, a new reactive scheme is proposed.
