Gas Phase Laser Induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy Of Cfcl, Stephen E. Bialkowski, David S. King, John C. Stephenson

Stephen E. Bialkowski

The CFCl radical has been produced in the gas phase by both IR multiphotonphotolysis of C₂F₃Cl and He metastable reaction with C₂F₃Cl. Single vibronic level fluorescence and excitation spectra taken of this species have yielded sufficient information to determine certain vibronic constants. The excited state was found to have an origin of T₀=25 283±5 cm⁻¹ with vibrational frequencies: ω₂′=394±3 cm⁻¹ and ω₃′=739±5 cm−1. In the ground state, the vibrational frequencies were found to be: ω₃″=118±10 cm⁻¹, ω₂″=448±6 cm …
