Description:
The emission spectra of the gaseous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) naphthalene, chrysene, and pyrene were recorded in the far-infrared (far-IR) region. The vibrational bands that lie in the far IR are unique for each PAH molecule and allow discrimination among the three PAH molecules. The far-IR PAH spectra, therefore, may prove useful in the assignment of unidentified spectral features from astronomical objects.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zhang, K -- Guo, B -- Colarusso, P -- Bernath, P F -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1996 Oct 25;274(5287):582-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Centre for Molecular Beams and Laser Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2L 3G1.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8849443" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
