β¦ Synopsis
The rotationally resolved photodissociation spectrum of mass-selected Ni~ has been observed. Much of the spectrum is congested and perturbed, making the assignment of spectroscopic constants difficult. However, the use of an accidental perturbation in the upper state is shown to simplify the interpretation of the rotational structure greatly. The bond length of the vibrationless ground state of the Ni~" ion as determined from the rotational constant of that state is 2.225 _+ 0.005 A. Rotational band contour analysis indicates the ground state has an angular momentum ( spin plus orbit) along the bond axis, ~7', of 9 / 2 which is incon-4 + sistent with the ab initio theoretical prediction of a ground ~z s state but is consistent with a 4F s state.

The photodissociation spectrum of isolated ZrAr + has been observed. The bond length in the vibrationless ground state is r 0 = 2.718 + 0.01 A with /~" --3/2. The c state of this ion has /2' = 5/2, an electronic origin at Too = 15580 cm-1, a vibrational frequency of to e = 74.9 cm -1, an anharmonici
Ni,Ar+ ions generated in a laser-driven plasma/supersonic expansion are photodissociated at different photon energies. This weakly bound ion fragments into primarily Ni: ( +Ar) at 3.0 eV and into Ni' (+Ni t Ar) at 3.5 eV indicating the Ni-Ni+ bond dissociation energy is between these limits.
