(a) The potential energy curves of N₂O²⁺ given for the de-nitrogenation channel.^[22] Vertical dashed lines indicate the Franck–Condon region. (b) The KER spectra of the de-nitrogenation process. The solid circles are experimental data, and the red solid lines are the fitting lines. The inset highlights the contributions from different pathways to the shoulder formation (see text).
