Abstract
The first observation of a sharp, structured electronic spectrum for a fluo rinated alkyl peroxy radical is reported using the technique of cavity ring down spectroscopy (CRDS). The Tao value for the (A) over tilde (2)A' -(X) o ver tilde (2)A " transition of CF3O2 has been determined to be 6656(3) cm(- 1) values for (A) over tilde state vibrational frequencies have also been d etermined. Initial kinetic observations on CF3O2 have been carried out, usi ng CRDS to monitor its concentration. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Scienc e B.V.
