Abstract
The (2 + 1) resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionisation (REMPI) spectrum of jet-cooled acetaldehyde has been recorded over the wavelength rang e 352 to 365 nm, and the vibrational assignments of the two-photon exc itation spectrum have been extended to most of the prominent and many of the weaker vibronic features. The 3s <-- n Rydberg nature of the tr ansition and the preference for the eclipsed conformation of the excit ed state have been confirmed by the vibrational analysis of the observ ed spectra and by torsional level calculations.
