Notes:
Fluorescence spectra of the perylene cation, isolated in an argon matrix and pumped by direct laser excitation via the D2(2B3g)←D0(2Au) and D5(2B3g)←D0(2Au) transitions, are presented. Direct excitation into the D5 or D2 states is followed by rapid nonradiative relaxation to D1 that, in turn, relaxes radiatively. Excitation spectroscopy across the D2(2B3g)←D0(2Au) transition near 730 nm shows that site splitting plays little or no role in determining the spectral substructure in the ion spectra. Tentative assignments for ground state vibrational frequencies are made by a comparison of spectral intervals with calculated normal mode frequencies, with the strongest IR bands leading to the most intense vibronic bands. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
