摘要
Gas-phase Ca^＋-dipropylamine complex has been subjected to photodissociation （400-690 nm）. One reactive product, Ca^＋-NHC3H7, is detected only in the region of 450-528 nm, besides the evaporation fragment of Ca^＋, which is dominant throughout the whole spectral region we have studied. The photoreaction channel may be explained in terms of a metal insertion mechanism. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental observations.
