The SiCF free radical has been spectroscopically identified for the first time. The radical was produced in an electric discharge jet using CF3Si(CH3)3 or CF3SiH3 vapor in high pressure argon as the precursor. The laser-induced fluorescence spectrum of the à 2Σ+ 2Π band system in the 610 − 550 nm region was recorded and the 2Π3/2 spin component of the 0—0 band was studied at high resolution. Rotational analysis gave the B values for the combining states, and by fixing the CF bond lengths at …

The electronic spectra of the HBBr and DBBr free radicals have been studied in depth. These species were prepared in a pulsed electric discharge jet using a precursor mixture of BBr3 vapor and H2 or D2 in high pressure argon. Transitions to the electronic excited state of the jet-cooled radicals were probed with laser-induced fluorescence and the ground state energy levels were measured from the single vibronic level emission spectra. HBBr has an extensive band system in the red which involves a linear-bent transition between the two Renner-Teller components of what would be a 2Π state …


Hyperfine Rather Than Spin Splittings Dominate The Fine Structure Of The B 4Σ-X 4Σ- Bands Of Aic, Dennis J. Clouthier, Aimable Kalume Jan 2016

Laser-induced fluorescence and wavelength resolved emission spectra of the B 4ΣX4Σ band system of the gas phase cold aluminum carbide free radical have been obtained using the pulsed discharge jet technique. The radical was produced by electron bombardment of a precursor mixture of trimethylaluminum in high pressure argon. High resolution spectra show that each rotational line of the 0-0 and 1-1 bands of AlC is split into at least three components, with very similar splittings and intensities in both the P- and R-branches. The observed structure was reproduced by assuming b …
