J. Baker et S. Couris, A 2-COLOR (1-65,600 CM(-1) ENERGY REGION(1')+1 MULTIPHOTON IONIZATIONSTUDY OF CS2 IN THE 61,000), The Journal of chemical physics, 103(12), 1995, pp. 4847-4854
The (1+1')+1 resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectru
m of jet-cooled CS2 has been recorded in the 61 000-65 600 cm(-1) exci
tation energy range. Four prominent band groups are observed that can
be assigned to Delta nu(2)=-1 and Delta nu(2)=1 sequences of the two-p
hoton electronically forbidden 4p (1'3)Delta(u) <-- (X) over tilde (1)
Sigma(g)(+) transitions. Weak bands to higher energy appear to be ass
ociated with the 3(0)(1), 2(0)(3) and 1(0)(1)2(0)(1) bands and corresp
onding sequence bands. The results show that the upper states are not
3d Rydberg states as has been previously supposed, and are consistent
with a recent reinvestigation of the corresponding (3+1) REMPI spectru
m. Further experimental information is obtained on the anomalous vibra
tional band structure of transitions to the 3 Delta(u), state. The 2(1
)(0) and 2(2)(1) bands of the 4p (1) Pi(u) <-- (X) over tilde (1) Sigm
a(g)(+) transition are also observed, but are much weaker, suggesting
that vibronic interactions are less important in this state compared t
o the 4p (1,3)Delta(u) states. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.
