Abstract
A generally applicable technique is described that enables the ESR study of molecular cation radicals isolated in neon matrices at 4 K. Preliminary evidence indicating the possible use of the method for the study of ion-neutral reactions is briefly discussed. The -™-™gaslike-™-™ nature of the trapped matrix ions is demonstrated by a comparison with gas phase results for 13CO+, one of the few radical cations studied by high resolution microwave spectroscopy. Application of the method to the following radical cations is presented in this report: 12CO+, 13CO+, 14NH3 +, and 15NH3 +. The ions are produced during neon matrix deposition by photoionization with an open tube neon discharge source (16.8 eV).
