1. Experimental details
The N2O doped pH2 crystals are prepared using the rapid vapor
deposition method of Fajardo and Tam. 1,
deposition of independent gas flows of
15
measured flow rates of dopant and pH 2 gas into the cryostat during
deposition. For these studies the dopant concentration ranged from 20 to 70
ppm. The pH2 solids are prepared by enriching normal-H2 gas to greater than
99.97% pH2 enrichment levels using a variable temperature ortho/para
converter operated near 14.0 K. The orthohydrogen (oH 2) concentration in
the sample can be checked using the integrated intensity of the oH 2-induced
Q1(0) feature1 and the measured crystal thickness. 3 The temperature of the
sample is measured using two Si-diode sensors; one is mounted (T A) to the
cold tip of the helium cryostat and the other (T B) is mounted to the Au-plated
oxygen-free-high-conductivity Cu substrate holder at the point furthest from
the cold tip. All the reported temperatures are using TB.
The H-atoms are generated as by-products in the 193 nm in situ
photolysis of the
15
N218O precursor.
broadband ArF excimer laser (Gam Laser EX5) with 8 ns pulse duration is
directed at an angle of 45 with respect to the surface normal of the BaF 2
optical substrate. The FTIR beam is focused with 8 off-axis parabolic mirrors
through the sample at normal incidence to the BaF 2 optical substrate in a
transmission optical setup.
recorded within the photolysis region either during or immediately after 193
nm irradiation. The laser fluences in these experiments, measured with a
power meter after an adjustable iris located in front of the photolysis window
on the cryostat, range from 60 to 75 J cm-2 pulse-1 and we used the highest
250 Hz repetition rate of the laser.

These
correlation plots demonstrate that there are two distinct product species and
that the peak assignments to a given isomer are internally consistent.

cis- and trans-H15N15N18O at various steps in a low temperature reaction study
on a 0.24(2) cm thick, 23 ppm 15N218O doped pH2 sample. Trace (a) is
recorded at 1.82 K before photolysis, trace (b) is recorded (16 co-added
scans, 290 sec, 0.03 cm-1 resolution) at 1.83 K right after photolysis, and
trace (c) is recorded 486.4 min after trace (b) while the sample is maintained
at a constant temperature of 1.81(2) K.
