The well resolved photoelectron spectra allow the electron affinities to be determined as 0.99(1) eV for LaO, 1.00(1) eV for CeO, 1.00(1) eV for PrO, and 1.01(1) eV for NdO, respectively.

The adiabatic and vertical detachment energies (ADE and VDE) of AgOCH3- are determined as 1.29(2) and 1.34(2) eV, respectively, from the vibrational resolved photoelectron spectrum. The Ag-(CH3OH)l,2 anionic complexes are characterized as metal atomic anion solvated by the CH3OH molecules with the electron mainly localized on the metal. The photoelectron spectra of Ag-(CH3OH)x (x=O, 1, 2) show a gradual increase in VDE with increasing x, due to the solvent stabilization. Evidence for the methanol-methanol hydrogen bonding interactions appears when the Ag- is solvated by two methanol molecules.展开更多
