Abstract

M$^{+}$(C$_{6}$H$_{6}$) (M = Cu, Ag) complexes are generated in the gas phase by laser vaporization and detected in a reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Excitation of M$^{+}$(C$_{6}$H$_{6}$) at 355 nm results exclusively in dissociative charge transfer, leading to neutral M and C$_{6}$H$_{6}$$^{+}$ products for both Cu and Ag complexes. Kinetic energy release in translationally hot C$_{6}$H$_{6}$$^{+}$ fragments is detected using a new apparatus designed for photofragment imaging of mass-selected ion beams. Velocity map imaging and slice imaging techniques are employed. Analysis of the data provide new information on the binding energies of Cu$^{+}$(C$_{6}$H$_{6}$) and Ag$^{+}$(C$_{6}$H$_{6}$).
