| Abstract | Charge-transfer-to-solvent reactions of hydroxide induced by 200 nm monophotonic or 337 and 389 nm biphotonic excitation of this anion in aqueous solution have been studied by means of pump-probe ultrafast laser spectroscopy. Transient absorption kinetics of the hydrated electron, e(aq) (-), have been observed, from a few hundred femtoseconds out to 600 ps, and studied as function of hydroxide concentration and temperature. The geminate decay kinetics are bimodal, with a fast exponential component ( approximately 13 ps) and a slower power "tail" due to the diffusional escape of the electrons. For the biphotonic excitation, the extrapolated fraction of escaped electrons is 1.8 times higher than for the monophotonic 200 nm excitation (31% versus 17.5% at 25 degrees C, respectively), due to the broadening of the electron distribution. The biphotonic electron detachment is very inefficient; the corresponding absorption coefficient at 400 nm is <4 cm TW(-1) M(-1) (assuming unity quantum efficiency for the photodetachment). For [OH(-)] between 10 mM and 10 M, almost no concentration dependence of the time profiles of solvated electron kinetics was observed. At higher temperature, the escape fraction of the electrons increases with a slope of 3x10(-3) K(-1) and the recombination and diffusion-controlled dissociation of the close pairs become faster. Activation energies of 8.3 and 22.3 kJ/mol for these two processes were obtained. The semianalytical theory of Shushin for diffusion controlled reactions in the central force field was used to model the geminate dynamics. The implications of these results for photoionization of water are discussed. |
