| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed a new instrument for imaging photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) of gas-phase anions. The PECD capability was integrated to the velocity-map photoelectron imaging apparatus. Using circularly polarized laser light, we observed chiral effects in the angular distribution of photoelectron emission from chiral anions; photodetachment from pure enantiomers of the chiral alkoxide anions show the forward-backward scattering asymmetry of photoelectrons along the light propagation direction. The asymmetry reverses with the exchange of the enantiomer or of the laser light helicity. This study has demonstrated that negative-ion PECD provides unique opportunity to study chirality of isolated molecular and cluster anions.

キラリティが関与する反応過程の解明や制御には，その物質のキラリティの識別が不可欠である。本研究では，光電子円二色性イメージングによる気相負イオン種のキラリティ識別を行い，超微量・高感度キラル計測の新手法としての有用性を明らかにした。この成果は今後，準安定的なイオン種や分子集合体といった過渡的に存在するイオン種のキラリティ検出を通じて，キラリティの関与するダイナミクスにおける分子間相互作用の効果の解明に繋がると期待される。
