De. Love et Kd. Jordan, ELECTRON-IMPACT EXCITATION OF THE SINGLET AND TRIPLET B-1U PI-]PI(ASTERISK) STATES OF ETHYLENE NEAR-THRESHOLD, Chemical physics letters, 235(5-6), 1995, pp. 479-483
The electron impact excitation functions of the 1 B-3(1u) and 1 B-1(1u
) pi --> pi states of ethylene are measured. The triplet excitation f
unction has a broad peak near 6.5 eV that is attributed to the pi(-1)(
pi)(2) anion state, and the singlet excitation function displays shar
p structure near threshold due to the pi(-1)(3s)(2) anion state.
