Abstract

We have measured the yield for the photoproduction of singly and doubly charged parent ions of the inorganic molecule tribromoborazine [(BrBNH)3], a molecule in which three bromine atoms replace three hydrogen atoms in borazine [(BH)3(NH)3]. Borazine is isoelectronic and isostructural to benzene. We compare the ratio of doubly to singly charged parent ions as a function of the photon energy to the ratio for benzene. We find similarities but also marked differences between the two molecules. The first double-ionization threshold was found to be at 28.5(4) eV.
