P. Roubin et al., FREE-ELECTRON LASER IRRADIATION OF DEUTERATED ETHANE ISOLATED IN A XENON MATRIX - A NEW STEP IN MOLECULAR ISOMERIZATION STUDIES, The Journal of chemical physics, 101(4), 1994, pp. 3403-3405
The selective excitation of different vibrational modes of the CH2D-CH
2D molecule isolated in a xenon matrix at 7 K has been performed using
the free electron laser source, CLIO, in order to test the selectivit
y of the intramolecular couplings involved in the isomerization induce
d by the infrared irradiation.
