L. Lespade et al., RING PUCKERING AND CH STRETCHING SPECTRA .3. HIGH VIBRATIONAL-STATES OF GASEOUS MONOHYDROGENATED CYCLOPENTENE-4-H(1), The journal of physical chemistry. A, Molecules, spectroscopy, kinetics, environment, & general theory, 101(14), 1997, pp. 2568-2573
The excited CH stretching vibrational states of gaseous cyclopentene (
4-HC5D7) have been measured from Delta upsilon = 3 to Delta upsilon =
6. Overtone spectra are modified by the large-amplitude ring-puckering
motion and by rapid energy flow to combination states. These two type
s of couplings with the CH stretching vibrations are explicitly modele
d. The reconstruction of the spectra gives the predominant pathways of
the intramolecular vibrational redistribution of the energy.
