β¦ Synopsis
We describe a new technique for detecting the infrared spectra of molecular ions in levels close to dissociation. Laser excitation ofan ion beam is followed by passage through a strong electric field, which selectively dissociates high-lying Icvcls. For the 21,2-17,3 transition of HD ' we obtain four orders-of-magnitude increase in sensitivity compared with our earlier method based upon photodissociation.
This improvement arises from the effkiency of electric field dissociation, and the separation of protons produced by field dissociation from other fragment ions. The high sensitivity cnablcs us to improve the spectral resolution, revealing further hypertine interactions.

A direct spectroscopic method for the determination of the submicromolar dissociation constant of Eu3'. ATP using laser-induced Eu3+ ion luminescence spectroscopy is described. The dissociation constant of Mg2+ .ATP is then determined by the competition of Mg2+ with Eu3+ for the binding of ATP. The
