1 Department of Chemistry University of Kentucky
Threshold Ionization of LaC5H8 Formed By La-Mediated Dehydrogenation of 1-Pentene Wenjin Cao, Yuchen Zhang, Dong-Sheng Yang Department of Chemistry University of Kentucky

2 Background and Motivations
Metal activation of hydrocarbons plays an important role in organic synthesis and catalysis. Extensive studies on metal atoms reactions with hydrocarbons. Flow reactor kinetic studies Crossed molecular beam studies Few spectroscopic studies, little information about structures and electronic states of the intermediates and products, which is important in devising reaction mechanism. Carrol, J.J.; et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1993, 115, 6962. Hinrichs, R.Z.; et al., J. Phys. Chem. A. 2003, 107, 9284.

14 Conclusions C-H activation (LaC5H8), C-C activation (LaC2H2, LaC3H4, LaC4H6), and C-C bond coupling (LaC6H10, LaC7H10) have been observed in the reaction of La with 1-pentene. Structure and electronic states of LaC5H8 have been identified. A reaction mechanism has been proposed. Thank You
