M. Ohara et al., RESONANCE-ENHANCED MULTIPHOTON ELECTRON DETACHMENT SPECTRA OF C-7(-),C-9(-), AND C-11(-), The Journal of chemical physics, 106(24), 1997, pp. 9992-9995
Electronic spectra of C-7(-), C-9(-), and C-11(-) were measured in the
gas phase for the first time using resonance-enhanced detachment. The
band origin of the transition to the lowest excited state for each of
these three anions was determined. For C-7(-) and C-9(-), several oth
er higher excited states were also detected. The 0(0)(0) transitions f
or a series of linear chain anions from C-5(-) to C-11(-) were compare
d with those previously reported for even-numbered series. Slight diff
erences were noted between the even- and odd-numbered series. (C) 1997
