β¦ Synopsis
A supersonic beam of organic molecules (benzonitrile (Bn), toluene (To& benzene (Bz) and pyridine (Pyr)) seeded into Ne or Ar was ionized by VW radiation from the Berlin electron storage ring (BESSY). Photoionixation efficiency curves were measured for Bn, BnNe, BnAr, Tol, ToleAr, TolaNe, Bz, Pyr, PypAr, and PyNe. Resonance peaks in these spectra at the positions of the atomic rare gas resonance lines confirm our previous measurements on Bn seeded into Ar and Kr, showing that the excitation energy of the rare gas atom is transferred to the attached organic molecule within a heterogeneous cluster, leading to ionization of the molecule and fragmentation of the cluster.

A linear correlation plot is presented for the first ionization energy of the rare-gas n-mers, which extrapolates to a similar correlation for the photoemission threshold of the solid rare gases. Also a simple correlation is described for the heteronuclear rare-gas dimers, the correlation parameter
