title: Photoelectron spectroscopy of the molecular anions, Li3O- and Na3O-.
abstract: The molecular anions, Li(3)O(-) and Na(3)O(-) were produced by laser vaporization and studied via anion photoelectron spectroscopy. Li(3)O(-) and Na(3)O(-) are the negative ions of the super-alkali neutral molecules, Li(3)O and Na(3)O. A two-photon process involving the photodetachment of electrons from the Li(3)O(-) and Na(3)O(-) anions and the photoionization of electrons from the resulting Li(3)O and Na(3)O neutral states was observed. The assignment of the Li(3)O(-) photoelectron spectrum was based on computational results provided by Zein and Ortiz [J. Chem. Phys. 135, 164307 (2011)].
