Bond dissociation energy of O2 measured by fully state-to-state resolved threshold fragment yield spectra
We have determined the bond dissociation energy of O2 by measuring fully state-to-state resolved threshold fragment yield spectra in the XUV energy region, O2X3Σg−,N″,J″→O(PJ3)+O(S1o3)/O(S2o5). Our results have yielded a bond dissociation energy value of 41 269.19 ± 0.10 cm−1, which is consistent wi...

Summary: | We have determined the bond dissociation energy of O2 by measuring fully state-to-state resolved threshold fragment yield spectra in the XUV energy region, O2X3Σg−,N″,J″→O(PJ3)+O(S1o3)/O(S2o5). Our results have yielded a bond dissociation energy value of 41 269.19 ± 0.10 cm−1, which is consistent with previous measurements but exhibits a significantly lower uncertainty, approximately five times smaller. It is noteworthy that this study is the first to simultaneously achieve fine structure state resolution for the parent O2 molecule and spin–orbit state resolution for the O(3PJ) fragments in the measurement of O2 bond dissociation energy. As a result, our findings have established a solid foundation for the obtained data. |
