Direct Determination of the Ionization-potential of Co By Resonantly Enhanced Multiphoton Ionization Mass-spectroscopy

In English The ionization potential of CO has been measured using resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) mass spectroscopy. The result, IP(CO) = 113031.3 +/- 2.2 cm-1, is corrected for field ionization effects by zero field extrapolation and it is in close agreement with results from classical absorption spectroscopy.
