IRMPD spectroscopy of a PAH cation using FELICE: The infrared spectrum and photodissociation of dibenzo[a,l]pyrene
Sandra Denise Wiersma, Alessandra Candian, Mathias Rapacioli +1
We present the experimental InfraRed Multiple Photon Dissociation (IRMPD) spectrum and fragmentation mass spectrum of the irregular, cationic PAH dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (CH$_{14…
IR photofragmentation of the Phenyl Cation: Spectroscopy and Fragmentation Pathways
S. D. Wiersma, A. Candian, J. M. Bakker +5
We present the gas-phase infrared spectra of the phenyl cation, phenylium, in its perprotio CH and perdeutero CD forms, in the 260-1925 cm (5.2-38 m)…
Structural investigation of doubly-dehydrogenated pyrene cations
Sanjana Panchagnula, Jordy Bouwman, Daniël B. Rap +7
The vibrationally resolved spectra of the pyrene cation and doubly-dehydrogenated pyrene cation (CH; Py and CH; ddPy) are presented…
Photolysis-induced scrambling of PAHs as a mechanism for deuterium storage
S. D. Wiersma, A. Candian, J. M. Bakker +4
Aim. We investigate the role of PAHs as a sink for deuterium in the interstellar medium and study UV photolysis as a potential process in the variations of the deuterium fractionat…
The aromatic Universe
A. Candian, J. Zhen, A. G. G. M. Tielens
The rich molecular structures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons -- essentially planar flakes of fused benzene rings -- and their fullerene cousins are revealed through their vibr…
Searching for stable fullerenes in space with computational chemistry
Alessandra Candian, Marina Gomes Rachid, Heather MacIsaac +3
We report a computational study of the stability and infrared (IR) vibrational spectra of neutral and singly ionised fullerene cages containing between 44 and 70 carbon atoms. The…
