Photo-induced Intra-complex Reactions in Ca+-Pyridine

Photodissociation spectra of Ca+-pyridine complex was obtained by reflectron time of flight spectrum (RTOF). Two channels were found from difference photodissociation spectra, one was non-reactive Ca+ cation separation channel, the other one was active channel for product Ca+NH2. Product Ca+ was dominant in the whole region studied and the only product in 530-590 nm region, reactive product Ca+NH2 shared a little present in whole products. Action spectrum as a function of photolysis laser wavelength shows appearance peaks relevant to transitions of complex. Branching ratio supports the information of photodissociation too.
