Gas Phase Spectroscopy Near The Carbon K-Edge

Abstract
Soft x-ray excitation involving C ls electrons in CO, as well as aliphatic, and aromatic hydrocarbons is found to result in ionic fragmentation of the original molecule. The frag-mentation pattern changes whether the C ls electron gets ionized or excited into a Rydberg-like orbital, or into an unfilled molecular orbital. In this study we correlate the near edge C ls absorption spectra with the observation of specific ionic fragments of the origi-nal molecules.
