Abstract
The molecular anions, Li3O- and Na3O- were produced by laser vaporization and studied via anion photoelectron spectroscopy. Li3O- and Na3O- are the negative ions of the super-alkali neutral molecules, Li3O and Na3O. A two-photon process involving the photodetachment of electrons from the Li3O- and Na3O- anions and the photoionization of electrons from the resulting Li3O and Na3O neutral states was observed. The assignment of the Li3O- photoelectron spectrum was based on computational results provided by Zein and Ortiz [J. Chem. Phys. 135, 164307 (2011)]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
