Electron Affinity of Co(C0)zNO Measured by Negative-Ion Photoelectron Spectroscopy N. J. Turner, A. A. Martel, and I. M. Waller' Department of Chemistry, 2036 Main Mall, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC V6T lZ1,Canada Received: August 24, 1993; In Final Form: October 26, 1993'

In this work, we present the fixed-frequency (at 355 nm) negative-ion photoelectron spectrum of Co(C0)2NO-. Analysis of the spectrum yields the electron affinity of Co(C0)2NO; EA[Co(CO)zNO] = 1.73 f 0.03 eV. The lack of extensive vibrational progressions in the spectrum is consistent with the neutral species and the negativeion having similar equilibrium geometries.

1. Introduction Negative-ion photoelectron spectroscopy is a useful technique for the study of radicals and reactive complexes since it combines the ability to isolate the species of interest with a direct spectroscopic probe. To accomplish this, mass-selection techniques isolate the corresponding negative ion of the species of interest. The output from a fixed-frequency laser induces a transition from the anion to the neutral molecule. This method probes states that are accessible by a one-electron transition from the anion. The photodetached electron carries away the excess energy between the photon energy and the energy deposited in the neutral species. By energy analyzing the kinetic energy of the detached electrons, one can infer information about states in the neutral molecule. Unsaturated transition-metal complexes are intermediates in many catalytic reactions' and often have been viewed as prototypes for molecules adsorbed on surfaces.2 However, these species are very reactive, and thus a proper characterization of the electronic and geometric structure of many of these compounds is lacking. Negative-ion photoelectron spectroscopy of unsaturated transition-metal complexes yields the gas-phase spectra, free from perturbations due to surrounding solvent or matrix molecules. The measurement of electronic spacing, vibrational structure, and electron affinities adds significant information to the characterization of these reactive complexes and provides stringent tests for the theoretical models used to describe these systems. Researchers have used negative-ion photoelectron spectroscopy for studies of metal carbonyl complexes,34 metal hydride metal dihydride complexes? and very recently a metal-cluster hydride complex.10 We add to this body of knowledge by presenting, in this work, the spectrum of a metal nitrosyl complex. In particular, we present the fixed-frequency negative-ion photoelectron spectrum of CO(CO)~NO-.

2. Experimental Section Figure 1 shows a schematic of the experimental apparatus. The design is similar to that described by Neumark and coworkers.11 It consists of a triply differentially pumped time-offlight mass spectrometer and a time-of-flight electron energy spectrometer. The ion source region floats at -1 kV with respect to ground, and a IO-" aperture separates the source from the first differential region. A 5-mm aperture separates the first and second differential regions, and a second 5-mm aperture separates the second differential region from the detector region. Three diffusion pumps (Edwards Diffstak 250, 160, and 100) maintain the operating pressures of 8 X lO-5,7 X 10-5, and 7 X 10-7 Torr in the source and in the first and second differential regions, respectively.

Ion Source and Mass Spectrometer, The ion source and mass spectrometer are based on the design of Kitsopolous et aL12 Negative ions are generated using the pulsed molecular-beam/ electron gun configuration developed by Johnson et al.13 Dilute mixtures of Co(CO)3NO in helium expand through a pulsed molecular-beam valve (General Valve Corp., Series 9, 0.5" nozzle, 30-Hz repetition rate)14 and intersect a 1-keV, 250-pA electron beam (Tektronix electron gun). The energetic electrons ionize the gas, producing slow secondary electronsthat efficiently produce the anion complex Co(C0)zNO- by dissociative attachment of Co(C0)3NO. The initially produced ions may react with the parent complex to form cobalt cluster complexes. The ions, formed in the continuum flow region of the freejet expansion, cool as the expansion progresses. A similar source has produced SH- with a rotational temperature12 of 50-15 K and IHI- with a 100 K vibrational temperat~re.'~ The negative ions, accelerated to 1keV, are mass-selected using a beam-modulated time-of-flight mass spectrometer based on the design of Bakker.16 The spectrometer consists of a pair of flat plates (6 cm X 6 cm) separated by 1cm and a 5-mm defining slit located 1 m away. The potential on one of the plates is held at V / 2 while the other plate rapidly switches from V to 0 when the ion pulse is halfway along the plates.

The ion bunch in this small volume will separate in time according to their masses along the 1.4-m mass spectrometer. An einzel lens (=-500 V) focuses the ion bunch perpendicular to the ion beam axis, and a second lens system can temporally focus the ions parallel to this axis. The temporal focusing optics consist of two 7.6-cm-diameter plates with 1-cm apertures separated by 1 cm. The second plate is held at ground potential, while the first plate is switched from ground to -100 V (10 ns fall time) when the target ion is midway between the two plates. A pair of chevron-mounted microchannel plate detectors (Galileo MCP-O25N, active area diameter of 25 mm) monitors the negative ions. 2.2. Electron Spectrometer. The mass-selected negative ions cross, at 90°, the 355-nm (3.49-eV) output from a pulsed Nd: YAG laser (Spectra-Physics GCR 4-30 Hz) timed so that only irradiation of the ions of interest occurs. A small fraction of the photodetached electrons separate according to their energy along a second 1-m time-of-flightspectrometer, oriented perpendicular to the direction of both the ion flight and the laser beam. The electrons are detected at the end of a 1-m flight tube using a pair of chevron-mountedmicrochannel plate detectors (Galileo MCP040N, active area diameter of 42 mm). Two layers of 0.030-in. thick Conetic AA magnetic shielding (Magnetic Shield Corp.) surround the flight tube to minimize magnetic fields. The electron signal is preamplified (Ortec 9301), digitized by a 300-MHz discriminator (Philips 6904), and then recorded using a 200MHz transient digitizer (LeCroy TR8828D). The signal is averaged (LeCroy 6010 Magic controller) and periodically transferred to and stored on a 386 computer.

This allows calibration of the mass spectrometer with the negative ions, 79Br, 8 1 B r , and 1Z7I-, produced by dissociative attachment of CF3Br and CF31. With this calibration, the two major mass peaks from the Co(CO)3NO sample occurred at 145 and 173 amu, corresponding to Co(C0)zNO- and Co(CO)3NO-, respectively. A similar freon co-expansion with Coz(C0)~(heated to 60 "C) yields a major mass peakat 171 amu corresponding to Co(CO),-. We are thus confident with our mass assignment. 3.2.

Where me is the mass of an electron, M is the ion mass, and Em is the center-of-mass energy of the ion. The observed electron arrival times, t, are fit to the equation

to obtain the length of the flight tube, I , and the offset, to. With these parameters, the flight times of electrons from photodetachment of a new anion are converted to energy. In addition, it is important to include the Jacobian in the transformation

McDonald and Schell observed electron transfer from Co(C0)2NO- to tetracyanoethylene (TCNE, (NC)2C=C(CN)~),suggestingthat EA[Co(C0)2NO] < EA[TCNE] = 3.17 f 0.2 eV." They did not observe electron transfer between Co(C0)zNO-and (CF3)2c==O. Thissuggeststhat EA[CO(CO)~NO] > EA[(CF&C--O]. The EA[(CF&C=O] is not known. However, McDonald and Chowdhury41 observed that electron transfer was a minor channel in the reaction of (CF3)2C=O with the phenylnitrene anion. This suggests that EA[(CF3)2C=O] 1 EA[phenylnitrene].

Our results are consistent with these bracketing experimentsand yield a more precise value for the electron affinity of Co(C0)2NO. 4.4. Comparison with Electron Affinities of Other Cobalt Complexes. McElvany and Allison were able to order the electron affinitiesof threecobalt complexes by investigating thegas-phase reactions of the anion complexes with several different reagents.8 They concluded that EA[Cr(CO)3] < EA[Co(C0)2] < EA[Co(CO)(NO)] < EA[Co(CO)3] < EA[Fe(CO)3]. Leopold and -workers6 used negativeion photoelectron spectroscopy (NIPES) to measure EA[Cr(CO)3] = 1.349 0.006 eV. Engelking and Lineberger3measuredEA[Fe(CO)3]= 1.8f 0.2eVusingNIPES. We expect that EA[Co(C0)2NO] > EA[Co(CO)J because of the greater electron affinity of the N O ligand as compared to the CO ligand. Our result of EA[Co(C0)2NO] = 1.73 f 0.03 eV decreases the upper bound for the electron affinities in this series of cobalt complexes. Combining this information yields an order for the electron affinities of 1.35 eV < EA[CO(CO)~]< EA[Co(CO)(NO)] < EA[Co(CO)3] < EA[Co(C0)2NO] = 1.73 eV.

5. Conclusiom We have determined the electron affinity of Co(C0)2NO to be 1.73 f 0.03eV by fixed-frequency negative-ion photoelectron spectroscopy. With our instrumental resolution, the electron spectrum consists of one main peak. The width of the peak is modeled by invoking only weakvibrational activity. This spectrum is consistent with Co(C0)2NO and its anion, Co(C0)2NO-, both having similar, planar C, equilibrium geometries. Acknowledgment.
