Abstract
The first photoionization onset, IL1, of pyrene was measured in seven liquid media comprising a dialectric hydrocarbon liquid and an electron attaching additive (A). The IL1 of pyrene was found to be independent of the dielectric hydrocarbon liquids and the concentration of A used. The average value (5.48 eV) of IL1 for all cyclic A's (c-C7F14, c-C6F12, c-C8F16) was lower by ≈0.40 eV compared to its value (5.88 eV) for the non-cyclic A (PFn-H). These findings have been rationalized on the basis of the time evolution of the photoionization and electron capture processes, and the electron attaching properties of A.
