Accurate extraction of reaction probabilities in IR multiphoton dissociation by a focused Gaussian beam: an improved
Abstract:
An improved analytical method has been developed to extract the dissociation probability from the raw data in infrared multiphoton dissociation with a Gaussian-profile beam using a focused irradiation geometry. The conventional analytical method based on the power-law model is shown to overestimate the dissociation yield by as much as 60% compared with that predicted by the newly developed analytical method based on the cumulative log-normal distribution model. The obtained analytical solution is well fitted bysimple algebraic expressions, which enable us to analyze the experimental data quickly and accurately without tedious iteration procedures.

¹H NMR: Complex Splitting
Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
