Robert L. Hettich and Ben S. Freiser Department of Chemistry, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907 H i g h l i g h t s are presented from our recent work on the p h o t o d i s s o c i a t i o n of three c a t e g o r i e s of t r a n s i t i o n metal ion s p e c i e s : (I) ML (L=ligand), (II) ML +, and MFe (M=3d metal). The r e s u l t s i n d i c a t e that these species absorb broadly i n the u l t r a v i o l e t and v i s i b l e s p e c t r a l regions. Because of t h i s broad absorption, p h o t o d i s s o c i a t i o n thresholds are a t t r i b u t e d to thermodynamic f a c t o r s and y i e l d absolute bond energies. Isomer d i f f e r e n t i a t i o n i s demonstrated by observing d i f f e r e n c e s i n cross s e c t i o n s , s p e c t r a l band p o s i t i o n s , and fragmentation pathways. I n t e r e s t i n g l y , product ions generated by p h o t o d i s s o c i a t i o n are found i n some cases to d i f f e r s i g n i f i c a n t l y from those produced by c o l l i s i o n - i n d u c e d d i s s o c i ation. S o p h i s t i c a t e d pulse techniques, which permit the multistep synthesis and i s o l a t i o n of a wide v a r i e t y of organometallic i o n s , together with the long ion storage times, make FTMS i d e a l l y suited for these s t u d i e s . +

The photodissociation spectra of a l l of the ions showed no pressure dependence, except for slight quenching of the low energy t a i l region, indicating that photodissociation in these cases is probably due to one-photon excitation and that the precursor ions do not have substantial internal energy.
