    Notes: We have investigated collision induced rotational and vibrational energy transfer in the Li2 A1Σu+(vi,ji=30)−Ne system experimentally under single-collision conditions at an effective temperature of 691 K. Over 800 inelastic rate constants have been measured, with the initial vibrational level vi ranging from 2 to 24 and −2≤Δv≤+2. Increasing vi results in a linear increase in the vibrational transition rate constants, which is accompanied by a decrease in the rotationally inelastic transition rate constant. The total inelastic rate constant increases with vi only at the highest values of vi. Net vibrational energy transfer 〈ΔE〉 calculated using rotationally summed rate constants is qualitatively consistent with a simple model. However, explicit inclusion of rotation gives quite different values of 〈ΔE〉. The experimental results are compared with our three-dimensional trajectory calculations on an ab initio potential surface and on a simple repulsive potential surface. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: High resolution infrared spectra of the vDF=1←0 stretch in ArnDF (n=1–3) have been recorded using a slit-jet infrared spectrometer. Analysis of the rotationally resolved spectra provides vibrationally averaged geometries and vibrational origins for a DF chromophore sequentially "solvated'' by Ar atoms. Calculations using pairwise additive Ar–Ar and Ar–DF potentials predict lowest energy equilibrium structures consistent with the vibrationally averaged geometries inferred spectroscopically. Variational calculations by Ernesti and Hutson [A. Ernesti and J. M. Hutson, Faraday Discuss. Chem. Soc. (1994)] using pairwise additive potentials predict rotational constants which are in qualitative agreement with, but consistently larger than, the experimental values. The inclusion of nonpairwise additive (three-body) terms improves the agreement, though still not to within the uncertainty of the pair potentials. The vibrational redshifts of 8.696, 11.677, and 14.461 cm−1 for n=1–3, respectively, reflect a nonlinear dependence of the redshift on the number of Ar atoms. Both the variational calculations of Ernesti and Hutson and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo calculations [M. Lewerenz, J. Chem. Phys. (in press)] using pairwise additive potentials systematically overpredict the magnitude of these redshifts, further signifying the need for corrective three-body terms. Analysis of the ArnDF (n=2,3) rovibrational line shapes reveals an upper limit to homogeneous broadening on the order of 2–3 MHz, consistent with vibrational predissociation lifetimes in excess of 50 ns. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: High resolution near infrared spectra of the two high frequency intramolecular modes in (DF)2 have been characterized using a slit-jet infrared spectrometer. In total, four pairs of vibration–rotation–tunneling (VRT) bands are observed, corresponding to K=0 and K=1 excitation of both the ν2 ("bound'') and ν1 ("free'') intramolecular DF stretching modes. Analysis of the rotationally resolved spectra provides vibrational origins, rotational constants, tunneling splittings and upper state predissociation lifetimes for all four states. The rotational constants indicate that the deuterated hydrogen bond contracts and bends upon intramolecular excitation, analogous to what has been observed for (HF)2. The isotope and K dependence of tunneling splittings for (HF)2 and (DF)2 in both intramolecular modes is interpreted in terms of a semiclassical 1-D tunneling model. High resolution line shape measurements reveal vibrational predissociation broadening in (DF)2: 56(2) and 3(2) MHz for the ν2 (bound) and ν1 (free) intramolecular stretching modes, respectively. This 20-fold mode specific enhancement parallels the ≥30-fold enhancement observed between analogous intramolecular modes of (HF)2, further elucidating the role of nonstatistical predissociation dynamics in such hydrogen bonded clusters. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: High resolution near infrared spectra of the two lowest frequency intermolecular modes in HF-stretch excited states of (HF)2 have been characterized using a slit-jet infrared spectrometer. In the spectral region surveyed, ten vibration–rotation–tunneling (VRT) bands are observed and assigned to the low frequency "van der Waals stretch'' (ν4) and "geared bend'' (ν5) intermolecular modes, in combination with either the hydrogen bond acceptor (ν1) or donor (ν2) high-frequency intramolecular HF stretches. Analysis of the rotationally resolved spectra provide intermolecular frequencies, rotational constants, tunneling splittings, and predissociation rates for the ν4/ν5 intermolecular excited states. The intermolecular vibrational frequencies in the combination states display a systematic dependence on intramolecular redshift that allows far-IR intermolecular frequencies to be reliably extrapolated from the near-IR data. Approximately tenfold increases in the hydrogen bond interconversion tunneling splittings with either ν4 or ν5 excitation indicate that both intermolecular modes correlate strongly to the tunneling coordinate. The high resolution VRT line shapes reveal mode specific predissociation broadening sensitive predominantly to intramolecular excitation, with weaker but significant additional effects due to low frequency intermolecular excitation. Analysis of the high resolution spectroscopic data for these ν4 and ν5 combination bands suggests strong state mixing between what has previously been considered van der Waals stretch and geared bend degrees of freedom. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The near ir combination band spectra of supersonically cooled (DF)2 in the 2900 to 3300 cm−1 region have been recorded with a high resolution slit jet spectrometer. Twelve vibration–rotation–tunneling (VRT) bands are observed, representing each of the four intermolecular modes (van der Waals stretch ν4, geared bend ν5, out-of-plane torsion ν6, and antigeared bend ν3) built as combination bands on either the ν1 (free) or ν2 (bound) DF stretches. Analysis of the rotationally resolved spectra provide spectroscopic constants, intermolecular frequencies, tunneling splittings, and predissociation rates as a function of both intra- and intermolecular excitation. The intermolecular frequencies demonstrate a small but systematic dependence on intramolecular mode, which is exploited to yield frequency predictions relevant to far-ir studies, as well as facilitate direct comparison with full 6-D quantum calculations on trial potential surfaces. The tunneling splittings demonstrate a much stronger dependence upon intermolecular mode, increasing by as much as an order of magnitude for geared bend excitation. Conversely, high resolution line shape analysis reveals that vibrational predissociation broadening is only modestly affected by intermolecular excitation, and instead exhibits mode specific behavior controlled predominantly by intramolecular excitation. Detailed H/D isotopic vibrational shifts are obtained by comparison with previous combination band studies of all four intermolecular modes in (HF)2. In contrast to the strong state mixing previously observed for (HF)2, the van der Waals stretch and geared bend degrees of freedom are largely decoupled in (DF)2, due to isotopically "detuning'' of resonances between bend–stretch intermolecular vibrations. Four-dimensional quantum calculations of the (HF)2 and (DF)2 eigenfunctions indicate that the isotopic dependence of this bend–stretch resonance behavior is incorrectly predicted by current hydrogen bond potential surfaces. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: High-resolution near infrared spectra of the two "high'' frequency intermolecular modes of (HF)2 have been characterized in HF-stretch excited states using a slit jet spectrometer. In the spectral region between 4280 and 4480 cm−1, four vibration–rotation–tunneling (VRT) bands are observed and assigned to tunneling pairs of the out-of-plane torsion (ν6) and antigeared bend (ν3) intermolecular modes, in combination with the hydrogen bond donor (ν2) and acceptor (ν1) high-frequency intramolecular HF stretches, respectively. Analysis of the jet-cooled, rotationally resolved spectra provide intermolecular frequencies, rotational constants, tunneling splittings, and predissociation rates for the ν3/ν6 intermolecular excited states. The relatively small changes in the hydrogen bond interconversion tunneling splitting with either ν3 or ν6 excitation indicate that neither intermolecular mode is strongly coupled to the tunneling coordinate. The high-resolution VRT linewidths reveal mode specific predissociation broadening sensitive predominantly to intramolecular excitation, but with significant additional effects due to low-frequency intermolecular excitation as well. The intermolecular vibrational frequencies in the combination states display a systematic dependence on intramolecular redshift that allows all four intermolecular fundamental frequencies to be extrapolated from the near-ir data. Agreement between full 6-D quantum calculations and experiment for the out-of-plane torsion (ν6) vibration is remarkably good (0.5%). However, significant discrepancies ((approximately-greater-than)10%) between theory and experiment are obtained for the antigeared bend (ν3), indicating the need for further refinement of the HF dimer potential surface. Finally, the observation of all four intermolecular modes allows zero-point contributions to the binding energy to be reliably estimated. The revised value for the binding energy, De=1580(35) cm−1, is slightly higher than semiempirical estimates but now in excellent agreement with recent high level ab initio calculations. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Laser spectroscopy of jet-cooled ethyl radical: Infrared studies in the CH2 stretch manifold (2000)

    Notes: A glow discharge, slit supersonic expansion in conjunction with direct infrared laser absorption methods has been utilized to record high resolution vibration–rotation spectra of the CH3–CH2 ethyl radical. The slit supersonic expansion results in efficient rotational cooling from discharge temperatures down to Trot(approximate)14 K, permitting unambiguous rotational assignment and spectral analysis for the first time. Furthermore, a discharge on/discharge off data collection scheme permits clean discrimination between spectral contributions from radical vs precursor absorption. Spectra for both symmetric and asymmetric CH2 stretch manifolds are observed. Least-squares fits of transition frequencies out of the K=0 ground state manifold to a near prolate top model Hamiltonian reproduce the data to within the 7 MHz experimental uncertainty and provides rotational constants for both ground and vibrationally excited symmetric/asymmetric CH2 stretch states. The band origins for the CH2 stretch vibrations [3037.018 96(12) cm−1 and 3128.693 69(13) cm−1] are in reasonable agreement with ab initio theory; though predictions for relative intensities of the two bands are off by nearly an order of magnitude and indicate that the transition moment vector is tilted 33° away from each C–H bond toward the C–C bond axis. Structural analysis based on the measured B and C rotational constants imply a C–C bond distance of 1.49 Å. This is consistent with partial ((approximate)15%) double bond character for the ethyl radical carbon frame and in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    High-resolution infrared spectroscopy of jet-cooled allyl radical (CH2–CH–CH2): In-phase (ν1) and out-of-phase (ν13) antisymmetric CH2 stretching vibrations (1998)

    Notes: High-resolution infrared spectra of jet-cooled allyl (CH2–CH–CH2) radical in the CH2 stretching region are obtained in a slit jet discharge spectrometer. Over 200 transitions are observed in the 3100–3140 cm−1 region, which have been rigorously assigned to "in-phase" (ν1) and "out-of-phase" (ν13) coupling of antisymmetric CH stretch excitations on each of the equivalent CH2 subunits. Origins for the two bands are determined to be 3113.98 488(89) cm−1 (ν1) and 3110.59 857(36) cm−1 (ν13), respectively. The data are reasonably well fit to semirigid asymmetric rotor behavior for the Ka≤2 levels populated in the slit jet at Trot(approximate)20 K, though not to within the experimental precision, which provides some indication of perturbations in the upper states. The sign and magnitude of the +3.4 cm−1 splitting between"in-phase" and"out-of-phase" excitations are in good qualitative agreement with a simple electrostatic model of dipole–dipole coupling between the two "local mode" CH2 groups. Due to sub-Doppler resolution (Δν(approximate)70 MHz) in the slit jet expansion, quantum-state-dependent excess broadening of the rovibrational transitions is observed, which can be ascribed to spin–rotation interactions. Based on a least squares analysis of the high-resolution line shapes, the data are consistent with a spin rotation constant of cursive-epsilonaa(approximate)−67(25) MHz. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: High-resolution near-infrared spectra of the vHCl=1←0 fundamental stretch in Ar2HCl and Ar3HCl have been characterized using a slit-jet infrared spectrometer. Analysis of the jet-cooled, rotationally resolved spectra (i) permits unambiguous identification of the cluster size, (ii) provides vibrationally averaged geometries in the vHCl=1 excited state, and (iii) allows the vibrational shift of the HCl chromophore to be measured as a function of the number of Ar atoms in the complex. The equilibrium structures of ArnHCl (n=1–3) clusters calculated using accurate Ar–Ar and Ar–HCl pair potentials are consistent with the vibrationally averaged structures inferred spectroscopically. The vibrational red-shifts for ArnHCl (n=1–3) reflect a near-linear dependence on the number of Ar atoms, which is qualitatively reproduced by simple classical calculations on vHCl=0 and 1 pairwise additive potential surfaces. Theoretical predictions of the ArnHCl red-shifts in a fcc lattice indicate good agreement with experimental matrix results. However, to achieve this asymptotic limit requires up to n(approximate)54 Ar atoms; this underscores a clear sensitivity to non-nearest neighbor Ar–HCl interactions significantly outside the first solvation shell. Finally, for smaller ArnHCl clusters with only one solvation shell (n=12), the potentials predict an energetic preference for HCl in surface vs interior sites. Analysis indicates that this effect is predominantly due to Ar/HCl size mismatch, which destabilizes the nearest neighbor Ar shell for HCl solvated in the center of the cluster. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Jet-cooled molecular radicals in slit supersonic discharges: Sub-Doppler infrared studies of methyl radical (1997)

    Notes: A novel high-intensity source of jet-cooled molecular radicals is described based on the combination of (i) slit supersonic expansions with (ii) pulsed electric discharges. The electrode bias configuration effectively confines the discharge to a region upstream of the supersonic expansion, which results both in efficient rotational cooling (Trot(approximate)25 K) and high radical densities (〉1014/cm3). In conjunction with direct absorption laser probe methods, this discharge source provides a general technique for high-resolution IR studies of jet-cooled radicals. Performance of the slit discharge system is demonstrated on v=1←0 rovibrational transitions in jet-cooled OH radicals, which indicate sub-Doppler linewidths (Δν(approximate)100 MHz) when probed along the slit expansion axis. The enhanced spectral resolution of the slit discharge geometry is utilized to probe the v3=1←0 asymmetric CH stretch vibration–rotation spectra of CH3 radical. Under sub-Doppler conditions, spin–rotation splittings are fully resolved and nuclear hyperfine splittings partially resolved in all of the transitions, permitting the first measure of Fermi contact interactions [af″=−65.5(9) MHz, εbb″=−354(5) MHz, af′=−65(2) MHz, εbb′=−353(2) MHz] and therefore both the sign and magnitude of spin-polarization effects for CH3 under isolated gas-phase conditions. The results permit direct comparison with high level ab initio calculations, and highlight a clear trend in spin-polarization effects between condensed and gas-phase behavior. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
