(a) Internal energy distributions for a population of proton-bound N,N-dimethylacetamide ions at 156 °C at thermal equilibrium (Boltzmann distribution, dashed line) and calculated from the master equation model (solid line). (b) Microcanonical absorption, emission, and dissociation rates for this same ion as calculated from the master equation model. The dissociation rate constants were calculated using a value of A∞ = 1016.5 s−1 and Eo = 1.25 eV.
