Metal ion coordination chemistry of medicinal interest
Creators: name: Saatchi, Katayoun (Seraji-Bozorgzad)
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Basic coordination chemistry of metal ions of medicinal interest is investigated and reported. The syntheses of vanadium complexes are reported using the naturally occurring ligating moieties isomaltolate (ima⁻) and allomaltolate (ama⁻), as well as a newly synthesized, potentially tetradentate diaminodipyrone [en(ama)₂]²⁻. Complete characterization of the resulting compounds (trans-VO(ima)₂(H₂O), VO(ama)₂, V(ima)₃, V(ama)₃ and VO(en(ama)₂), including X-ray crystallography analyses for trans- VO(ima)₂(H₂O) and V(ima)₃, are presented herein. The crystal structure of trans- VO(ima)₂(H₂O) shows a coordinated water trans to vanadyl. Potentiometric titrations (25°C, 1= 0.16 M NaCl) were used to measure stability constants in the V(IV)- ima⁻, V(IV)- ama⁻ and V(V)- ama⁻ systems; these data were compared to previous data collected on the V-maltolate system. In vivo efficacy of these compounds to normalize the blood glucose levels of STZ diabetic rats was tested; all but VO(en(ama)₂) produced significant decreases in plasma glucose levels. The results were compared to those of the benchmark compound BMOV (VO(ma)₂, bis(maltolato)oxovanadium(IV)), a proven insulin-enhancing agent. Rhenium complexation to [en(ama)₂]²⁻ is also investigated. The resulting complex ReO(en(ama)₂)Cl was characterized by a variety of techniques including ID and 2D NMR spectroscopy. These results clearly point to asymmetric binding of the ligand to the metal centre, leaving O = Re - CI in a cis configuration. Novel complexes of Ga and In were synthesized with a group of hetero donor phosphinophenolate ligands (PO⁻, (orthohydroxophenyl)diphenylphosphine; MePO⁻, (2- hydroxo-5-methylphenyl)diphenylphosphine). The two metal ions interestingly show diversity in their chelation to phosphinophenolates. The RPO⁻ (R = H, Me) heterodonor ligand binds in a bidentate fashion through both the hard and the soft donor atoms to In; whereas, it only chelates Ga through the hard oxygen donor. Electrochemical synthesis proved to be a practical synthetic approach. In₂(PO)₃Cl₃, In(PO)₃ and In(MePO)₃ were synthesized by electrolysis. [In(MePO)(H₂O)Cl₂]₂ and Ga(HPO)Cl₃ were synthesized using MCI₃ (M = In and Ga respectively). Both dimetallic indium complexes, [In(MePO)(H₂O)Cl₂]₂ and In₂(PO)₃Cl₃, show the phenolate oxygens bridging between the two metal ions. All four In atoms are in a distorted octahedral geometry in both complexes with the former having a coordination sphere of PO₃CI₂ for both indium metal ions and the latter showing a coordination sphere of PO₃CI₂ for one indium and P₂O₃CI for the other. Ga(HPO)Cl₃ is a zwitterionic complex, with Ga having a OCI₃ coordination core. All these complexes were fully characterized including X-ray crystallography.
Frozen rigging model of the energy dominated universe

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Composite rigging systems, involving membranes that meet on strings that meet on monopoles, arise naturally by the Kibble mechanism as topological defects in field theories involving spontaneous symmetry breaking. Such systems will tend to freeze out into static lattice type configurations with energy contribution ultimately be provided by the membranes. It has been suggested by Bucher and Spergel that on scales large compared with the relevant (interstellar separation) distance characterising the relevant mesh length, such a system may behave as a rigidity - stabilised solid, having an approximately isotropic stress energy tensor with negative pressure, as given by a polytropic index $γ=w+1=1/3$. It has recently been shown that such a system can be rigid enough to be stable if the number of membranes meeting at a junction is even (though not if it is odd). Using as examples an approximately O(3) symmetric scalar field model that can provide an ``8 color'' (body centered) cubic lattice, and an approximate U(1)$\times$ U(1) model offering a disordered ``5 color'' lattice, it is argued that such a mechanism can account naturally for the observed dark energy dominance of the universe, without ad hoc assumptions, other than that the relevant symmetry breaking phase transition should have occurred somewhere about the Kev energy range.

description: The young generation is the most influenced and vulnerable segment of the market. Food with high level of fat, sugar and/or salt are popularised for this segment. At the same time nearly 7 people die of obesity or from complications of obesity in Hungary each hour - one every 9 minutes. Approximately 119 million Americans, or 64.5 percent, of adult Americans are either overweight or obese. 17.5 million obese young persons live in the European Union. The result is the drastic elevation of the hygienic expenses. The average health care cost of overweight persons is higher by 42% than normal bodyweight ones. Per capita spending on fast foods is unbelievable and rising. The value of average spending was 2.5 € in 2002. Fast food sales continue to boom despite warnings about obesity. The consumption of these products can contribute to the increased level of childhood obesity. 12.0% of young person’s visited a fast food restaurant at least with a weekly regularity. The value is 16.9% in case of young men higher than in case of young ladies (8.1%) to our research. We can state the respondents underestimate the costs of fast foods.
Restricted locality of quark-hadron duality in exclusive meson photoproduction reactions above the resonance region

description: We show how deviations from the dimensional scaling laws for exclusive processes may be related to a breakdown in the locality of quark-hadron duality, i.e. the "restricted locality". For exclusive reactions like meson photo- and electroproduction above the resonance region, we explore the effects arising from such a local duality breaking and propose that it can be a possible source for oscillations about the smooth quark counting rule predicted by pQCD in the 90-degree differential cross sections.

description: The new orientation of the Common Agriculture Policy encourages producers to respond to market forces. In addition, the public expect producers to contribute to a living countryside. Based on this context, the purpose of the paper is to discuss what other marketing alternatives exist for the promotion of mountain quality food products beyond labelling. This is done through the analyses of shelves and postal surveys to retailers, carried out as part of the EU project EuroMARC, which included information for Austria, France, Norway, Romania, Slovenia and UK (Scotland). The analysis concentrates on two product promotion aspects: display and store-promotion, and communication of product attributes. The results indicate that even without labelling policy there is scope to improve the promotion of mountain quality food products.

description: The Lyapounov exponent and sharp conditions for geometric ergodicity are determined of a time series model with both a threshold autoregression term and threshold autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic (ARCH) errors. The conditions require studying or simulating the behavior of a bounded, ergodic Markov chain. The method of proof is based on a new approach, called the piggyback method, that exploits the relationship between the time series and the bounded chain. The piggyback method also provides a means for evaluating the Lyapounov exponent by simulation and provides a new perspective on moments, illuminating recent results for the distribution tails of GARCH models.

Chlorin-like photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy
Creators: name: Liu, Xin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The goal of the project was to generate new photosensitizers for use in photodynamic therapy (PDT) by modifying the amphiphilicity of the tetrapyrrolic macrocycles. This aim was achieved by developing the chemistry of the conjugated vinyl group on tetrapyrrolic macrocycles. In the first part, the non-diastereomeric primary ether derivatives of pyropheophorbide a, 60, and ether derivatives of ring B-BPD-1,3-diene dimethyl ester, 62, were synthesized successfully. New synthetic methods for the intermediates and target compounds were developed and proven to be effective, convenient and safe. Preliminary PDT cytotoxicity assays showed that some of the primary ether derivatives exhibited promising PDT efficacy. Secondly, cross-metathesis (CM) was applied successfully to vinylchlorin and vinylporphyrin substrates by employing the imidazolylidene ruthenium benzylidene catalyst 96. The optimized reaction conditions and the reactivity of different substrates towards CM were investigated. A variety of chlorins and porphyrins with the substituted-vinyl groups, such as 105, 113, 123, 124, 135 and 125, were synthesized via cross-metathesis in good yields with excellent E-stereoselectivity. This method has proven to be a generalizable strategy for modifying the amphiphilicity of tetrapyrrolic macrocycles starting with the conjugated vinyl group.

description: The food demand in India has been examined in the context of a structural shift in the dietary pattern of its population. The results have reinforced the hypothesis of a significant diversification in the dietary pattern of households in recent years and has found stark differences in the consumption pattern across different income quartiles. The food demand behaviour has been explained using a set of demand elasticities corresponding to major food commodities. The demand elasticities have been estimated using multi-stage budgeting with QUAIDS model and another alternative model, FCDS. The study has revealed that the estimated income elasticities vary across income classes and are lowest for cereals group and highest for horticultural and livestock products. The analysis of price and income effects based on the estimated demand system has suggested that with increase in food price inflation, the demand for staple food (rice, wheat and sugar) may not be affected adversely but, that of high-value food commodities is likely to be affected negatively. Therefore, the study has cautioned that if inflation in food prices remains unabated for an extended period, there is the possibility of reversal of the trend of diversification and that of consumers returning to cereal-dominated diet, thus accentuating under-nourishment.

We also study limited immunity and simplicity, called k-immunity and feasible k-immunity, and their simplicity notions. Finally, we propose the k-immune hypothesis as a working hypothesis that guarantees the existence of simple sets in NP.

description: We examine the magnetic susceptibility of topological insulators microscopically and find that the orbital-Zeeman (OZ) cross term, the cross term between the orbital effect and the spin Zeeman effect, is directly related to the Berry curvature when the $z$-component of spin is conserved. In particular, the OZ cross term reflects the spin Chern number, which results in the quantization of the magnetic susceptibility jump at the topological phase transition. The magnitude of the jump is in units of the universal value $4|e|μ_{\rm B}/h$. The physical origin of this quantization is clarified. We also apply the obtained formula to an explicit model and demonstrate the quantization.
Knowing your Heart Reduces Emotion-Induced Time Dilation

description: Human timing and interoception are closely coupled. Thus, temporal illusions like, for example, emotion-induced time dilation, are profoundly affected by interoceptive processes. Emotion-induced time dilation refers to the effect when emotion, especially in the arousal dimension, leads to the systematic overestimation of intervals. The close relation to interoception became evident in previous studies which showed increased time dilation when participants focused on interoceptive signals. In the present study we show that individuals with particularly high interoceptive accuracy are able to shield their timing functions to some degree from interference by arousal. Participants performed a temporal bisection task with low-arousal and high-arousal stimuli, and subsequently reported their interoceptive accuracy via a questionnaire. A substantial arousal-induced time dilation effect was observed, which was negatively correlated with participants' interoceptive accuracy. Our findings support a pivotal role of interoception in temporal illusions, and are discussed in relation to neuropsychological accounts of interoception.
The HI content of the Eridanus group of galaxies

Year: 2005

description: The HI content of galaxies in the Eridanus group is studied using the GMRT observations and the HIPASS data. A significant HI deficiency up to a factor of 2-3 is observed in galaxies in the high galaxy density regions. The HI deficiency in galaxies is observed to be directly correlated with the local projected galaxy density, and inversely correlated with the line-of-sight radial velocity. Furthermore, galaxies with larger optical diameters are predominantly in the lower galaxy density regions. It is suggested that the HI deficiency in Eridanus is due to tidal interactions. In some galaxies, evidences of tidal interactions are seen. An important implication is that significant evolution of galaxies can take place in the group environment. In the hierarchical way of formation of clusters via mergers of groups, a fraction of the observed HI deficiency in clusters could have originated in groups. The co-existence of S0's and severely HI deficient galaxies in the Eridanus group suggests that galaxy harassment is likely to be an effective mechanism for transforming spirals to S0's.

description: This study has evaluated the superiority of resource conservation technologies (RCTs) over conventional methods of cultivation and has identified the factors influencing adoption of these technologies. It has provided succinct evidences from four states — Bihar, Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh — by comparing the adopters and non-adopters of RCTs in the rice-wheat cropping system of the Indo-Gangetic Plains of India. The study has highlighted superiority of RCTs over the conventional practices in terms of cost saving and efficient inputs-use. However, there is a need to internalize the RCTs in their totality by applying plans and strategies based on local dynamics. The study has suggested the need of policy formulations for dissemination and wider adoption of these technologies.

description: For a nilpotent group $G$, let $Ξ(G)$ be the difference between the complement of the generating graph of $G$ and the commuting graph of $G$, with vertices corresponding to central elements of $G$ removed. That is, $Ξ(G)$ has vertex set $G \setminus Z(G)$, with two vertices adjacent if and only if they do not commute and do not generate $G$. Additionally, let $Ξ^+(G)$ be the subgraph of $Ξ(G)$ induced by its non-isolated vertices. We show that if $Ξ(G)$ has an edge, then $Ξ^+(G)$ is connected with diameter $2$ or $3$, with $Ξ(G) = Ξ^+(G)$ in the diameter $3$ case. In the infinite case, our results apply more generally, to any group with every maximal subgroup normal. When $G$ is finite, we explore the relationship between the structures of $G$ and $Ξ(G)$ in more detail.

The existence of two collective fields enables us to describe specific excitations of the hermitean matrix model. By using these two fields, we construct topologically non-trivial solutions (BPS solitons) of the model. We find the low-energy spectrum of quantum fluctuations around the uniform solution. Furthermore, we construct the wave functional of the ground state and obtain the corresponding Green function.

Most of those currently, and to be deployed, lack sufficient security to protect themselves and their networks from attack by malicious IoT devices that masquerade as authorized devices to circumvent digital authentication approaches. This work presents a PHY layer IoT authentication approach capable of addressing this critical security need through the use of feature reduced Radio Frequency-Distinct Native Attributes (RF-DNA) fingerprints and Support Vector Machines (SVM). This work successfully demonstrates 100%: (i) authorized ID verification across three trials of six randomly chosen radios at signal-to-noise ratios greater than or equal to 6 dB, and (ii) rejection of all rogue radio ID spoofing attacks at signal-to-noise ratios greater than or equal to 3 dB using RF-DNA fingerprints whose features are selected using the Relief-F algorithm.

description: farms in Salumber tehsil of Udaipur district during 2008-09. The study has revealed that farm income per family is higher on beneficiary farms as compared to non-beneficiary farms. The progress of crop insurance scheme in Rajasthan has been found positive, as is evidenced through compound and linear growth rates. In the Udaipur district, the progress of crop insurance scheme has been found positive, except the claim passed to the number of farmers and amount of sum insured. At the overall level, the total area insured under the crop insurance programme has been only about 45 per cent of the total cropped area of the beneficiary farms. Use of inputs such as human and bullock labour, seed, manures, fertilizers, pesticides, etc. has been found significantly higher on beneficiary farms than non-beneficiary farms. The beneficiary farmers have invested more on hired human, machine and bullock labour, seeds, manures, fertilizers, chemicals, etc. mainly because of guaranteed compensation from the crop insurance scheme. Positive elasticity for area in maize and wheat crops in both the beneficiary categories has indicated the scope of further use of this input to increase crop production and gross income. The majority of beneficiary farmers have been found satisfied with crop insurance scheme; however, they have shown discontent towards delay in payment of claim, present basis fixing compensation and inadequate payment of compensation. The same response for these shortcomings has been reported by non-beneficiary group also.

description: We show that only finitely many links in a closed 3-manifold share the same complement, up to twists along discs and annuli. Using the same techniques, we prove that by adding 2-handles on the same link we get only finitely many smooth cobordisms between two given closed 3-manifolds. As a consequence, there are finitely many smooth closed 4-manifolds constructed from some Kirby diagram with bounded number of crossings, discs, and strands, or from some Turaev special shadow with bounded number of vertices. (These are the 4-dimensional analogues of Heegaard diagrams and special spines for 3-manifolds.) We therefore get two filtrations on the set of all smooth closed 4-manifolds with finite sets. The two filtrations are equivalent after linear rescalings, and their cardinality grows at least as n^{c*n}.

description: Farmers’ supply responsiveness planting rice in Jambi Province was estimated using Meta- Profit analysis function. The objective of study is to analyze rice farmers’ supply response. Research was conducted in Jambi Province in the year of 2010. Result showed that farmers’ profit planting rice increased because its price increased. Furthermore, its share decreased when its labour wage increased. This implied to farmers to plant rice because rice was relatively more profitable than other plants. The result showed that farmers tended to pushed risk in planting decision. As expected that irrigation index was also the important significant factor. Following it found that its profit planting rice increased in wet season. This results were consistent with the fact that the water availability was important factor to plant rice. The consistency of previous result, it found that profit to plant rice was the positive determination with irrigation index. This implied that government policy in agriculture had positive impact on technological adoption. The analysis production function suggested that labour and fertilizer elasticities higher than zero significantly. Production rice elasticity by considering the number of labour used was a little bit lower than fertilizer. As expected, it found that rice production elasticity by considering irrigation index was bigger than zero significantly.

description: The capacity of apple trees to produce fruit of a desired diameter, i.e., fruit-bearing capacity (FBC), was investigated by considering the inter-tree variability of leaf area (LA). The LA of 996 trees in a commercial apple orchard was measured by using a terrestrial two-dimensional (2D) light detection and ranging (LiDAR) laser scanner for two consecutive years. The FBC of the trees was simulated in a carbon balance model by utilizing the LiDAR-scanned total LA of the trees, seasonal records of fruit and leaf gas exchanges, fruit growth rates, and weather data. The FBC was compared to the actual fruit size measured in a sorting line on each individual tree. The variance of FBC was similar in both years, whereas each individual tree showed different FBC in both seasons as indicated in the spatially resolved data of FBC. Considering a target mean fruit diameter of 65 mm, FBC ranged from 84 to 168 fruit per tree in 2018 and from 55 to 179 fruit per tree in 2019 depending on the total LA of the trees. The simulated FBC to produce the mean harvest fruit diameter of 65 mm and the actual number of the harvested fruit >65 mm per tree were in good agreement. Fruit quality, indicated by fruit's size and soluble solids content (SSC), showed enhanced percentages of the desired fruit quality according to the seasonally total absorbed photosynthetic energy (TAPE) of the tree per fruit. To achieve a target fruit diameter and reduce the variance in SSC at harvest, the FBC should be considered in crop load management practices. However, achieving this purpose requires annual spatial monitoring of the individual FBC of trees.

description: We consider here a recently proposed geometrical criterion for local instability based on the geodesic deviation equation. Although such a criterion can be useful in some cases, we show here that, in general, it is neither necessary nor sufficient for the occurrence of chaos. To this purpose, we introduce a class of chaotic two-dimensional systems with Gaussian curvature everywhere positive and, hence, locally stable. We show explicitly that chaotic behavior arises from some trajectories that reach certain non convex parts of the boundary of the effective Riemannian manifold. Our result questions, once more, the viability of local, curvature-based criteria to predict chaotic behavior.

description: Exploring signals from the outer space has become an observational science under fast expansion. On the basis of its advanced technology the MAGIC telescope is the natural building block for the first large scale ground based high energy gamma-ray observatory. The low energy threshold for gamma-rays together with different background sources leads to a considerable amount of data. The analysis will be done in different institutes spread over Europe. Therefore MAGIC offers the opportunity to use the Grid technology to setup a distributed computational and data intensive analysis system with the nowadays available technology. Benefits of Grid computing for the MAGIC telescope are presented.

description: The Chandra X-ray observatory monitored the single cool star, AB Doradus, continuously for a period lasting 88 ksec (1.98 Prot) in 2002 December with the LETG/HRC-S. The X-ray lightcurve shows rotational modulation, with three peaks that repeat in two consecutive rotation cycles. These peaks may indicate the presence of compact emitting regions in the quiescent corona. Centroid shifts as a function of phase in the strongest line profile, O VIII 18.97 A, indicate Doppler rotational velocities with a semi-amplitude of 30 +/- 10 km/s. By taking these diagnostics into account along with constraints on the rotational broadening of line profiles (provided by archival Chandra HETG Fe XVII and FUSE Fe XVIII profile) we can construct a simple model of the X-ray corona that requires two components. One of these components is responsible for 80% of the X-ray emission, and arises from the pole and/or a homogeneously distributed corona. The second component consists of two or three compact active regions that cause modulation in the lightcurve and contribute to the O VIII centroid shifts. These compact regions account for 16% of the emission and are located near the stellar surface with heights of less than 0.3R*. At least one of the compact active regions is located in the partially obscured hemisphere of the inclined star, while one of the other active regions may be located at 40 degrees. High quality X-ray data such as these can test the models of the coronal magnetic field configuration as inferred from magnetic Zeeman Doppler imaging.

description: Online hate speech is a recent problem in our society that is rising at a steady pace by leveraging the vulnerabilities of the corresponding regimes that characterise most social media platforms. This phenomenon is primarily fostered by offensive comments, either during user interaction or in the form of a posted multimedia context. Nowadays, giant corporations own platforms where millions of users log in every day, and protection from exposure to similar phenomena appears to be necessary in order to comply with the corresponding legislation and maintain a high level of service quality. A robust and reliable system for detecting and preventing the uploading of relevant content will have a significant impact on our digitally interconnected society. Several aspects of our daily lives are undeniably linked to our social profiles, making us vulnerable to abusive behaviours. As a result, the lack of accurate hate speech detection mechanisms would severely degrade the overall user experience, although its erroneous operation would pose many ethical concerns. In this paper, we present 'ETHOS', a textual dataset with two variants: binary and multi-label, based on YouTube and Reddit comments validated using the Figure-Eight crowdsourcing platform. Furthermore, we present the annotation protocol used to create this dataset: an active sampling procedure for balancing our data in relation to the various aspects defined. Our key assumption is that, even gaining a small amount of labelled data from such a time-consuming process, we can guarantee hate speech occurrences in the examined material.

description: The quantum mechanical treatment of quadrupole radiation due to bremsstrahlung exact to all orders in the Coulomb interaction of two non-relativistically colliding charged spin-0 and unpolarized spin-1/2 particles is presented. We calculate the elements of the quadrupole tensor, and present analytical solutions for the double differential photon emission cross section of identical and non-identical particles. Contact is made to Born-level and quasi-classical results in the respective kinematic limits and effective energy loss rates are obtained. A generally valid formula for soft-photon emission is established and an approximate formula across the entire kinematic regime is constructed. The results apply to bremsstrahlung emission in the scattering of pairs of electrons and are hence relevant in the study of astrophysical phenomena. A definition of a Gaunt factor is proposed which should facilitate broad applicability of the results.

description: We use the uniform semiclassical approximation in order to derive the fidelity decay in the regime of large perturbations. Numerical computations are presented which agree with our theoretical predictions. Moreover, our theory allows to explain previous findings, such as the deviation from the Lyapunov decay rate in cases where the classical finite-time instability is non-uniform in phase space.

How Gaussian can the Sky be? Primordial Non-Gaussianity from Quantum Information

description: Using the quantum information picture to describe the early universe as a time dependent quantum density matrix, with time playing the role of a stochastic variable, we compute the non-gaussian features in the distribution of primordial fluctuations. We use a quasi de Sitter model to compute the corresponding quantum Fisher information function as the second derivative of the relative entanglement entropy for the density matrix at two different times. We define the curvature fluctuations in terms of the time quantum estimator. Using standard quantum estimation theory we compute the non-gaussian features in the statistical distribution of primordial fluctuations. Our approach is model independent and only relies on the existence of a quasi de Sitter phase. We show that there are primordial non-gaussianities, both in the form of squeezed and equilateral shapes. The squeezed limit gives a value of $f_{\rm NL} \sim n_s-1$. In the equilateral limit we find that $f_{\rm NL} \sim 0.03$. The equilateral non-gaussianity is due to the non-linearity of Einstein's equation. On the other hand, the squeezed one is due to the quantum nature of clock synchronization and thus real and cannot be gauged away as a global curvature. We identify a new effect: {\it clock bias} which is a pure quantum effect and introduces a bias in the spectral tilt and running of the power spectrum of order $\sim 10^{-4}$, which could be potentially measurable and yield precious information on the quantum nature of the early Universe.
Spectroscopy and dynamics in threshold ion-pair production
Creators: name: Hu, Qichi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The high resolution photoionization technique of Threshold Ion-Pair Production Spectroscopy (TIPPS) involves VUV excitation of neutral molecules AB to the highly vibrationally excited ion-pair states A⁺(β⁺) — B⁻(β⁻) just below the dissociation limit. These states behave like the high-n Rydberg states used for pulsed field ionization zero kinetic energy photoelectron (PFI-ZEKE) or mass analyzed threshold ionization (MATI) spectroscopy, and can be detected by pulsed field dissociation. During the past few years TIPPS has been applied to the molecules HCl/DCl, HF/DF, HCN and (HF)₂. For HCl/DCl and HF/DF, the ion-pair thresholds have been precisely measured and the classical bond dissociation energies have been calculated, and therefore our results provide an experimental test of the Born-Oppenheimer breakdown in the two pairs of isotopomers. The ion-pair formation mechanisms in these molecules were discussed in light of these high resolution results. For HCN, we have precisely measured the ion-pair threshold E⁰[sub IP] to be 122246 ± 4cm⁻¹. Our result also showed that rotationally excited instead of cold CN⁻ fragment is favored as the ion-pair dissociation product in the threshold region. For (HF)₂, the total ion yield and pulsed field ionization (PFI) spectra of HFH⁺ from (HF)₂ were recorded over the energy range 14.7-15.9eV. The dominant process to produce HFH⁺ was found to be (HF)₂ + hν → HFH⁺ + e⁻ + F, while the other energetically allowed process (HF)₂ + hν → HFH⁺ + F⁻ is virtually non contributing. Production of vibrationally excited HFH⁺ fragments was observed, and assignments to different vibrational levels were performed in comparison with the calculated HFH⁺ vibrational spacing in literature work. From the spectrum we have measured the appearance potential (AP) of HFH⁺ to be 14.50 ± 0.03eV (relative to (HF)₂), which gives a value of 5.07 ± 0.03eV for the proton affinity of HF. Our result clarifies the discrepency between previous photoionization work and the results from other methods.
