Abstract
Aromatic hydrocarbon ions exhibit distinctive red and near-IR electronic absorption bands associated with transitions between normally filled molecular orbitals. These transitions are expected to govern laser-induced ion fragmentation mechanisms. Therefore, they are of practical interest for selective detection and laser chemistry applications. In earlier ambient temperature gas phase investigations,1 there was no evidence for discrete spectral structure in red ion fragmentation bands.
