ROTATIONALLY RESOLVED MULTIPHOTON IONIZATION PHOTOELECTRON-SPECTROSCOPY OF THE [A(1)DELTA]3D-PI(2)PHI AND [A(1)DELTA]5P-PI(2)PHI RYDBERG STATES OF THE SH RADICAL
Jb. Milan et al., ROTATIONALLY RESOLVED MULTIPHOTON IONIZATION PHOTOELECTRON-SPECTROSCOPY OF THE [A(1)DELTA]3D-PI(2)PHI AND [A(1)DELTA]5P-PI(2)PHI RYDBERG STATES OF THE SH RADICAL, The Journal of chemical physics, 107(8), 1997, pp. 2782-2792
Experimental and theoretical results on the rotationally resolved phot
oelectron spectra of the [a (1) Delta]3d pi (2) Phi(upsilon'=0) and th
e [a (1) Delta]5p pi (2) Phi(upsilon'=0) Rydberg states of the SH radi
cal are presented. In particular, for the former state, ionization via
a large number of members of different rotational branches is conside
red. The interplay between experiment and ab initio calculations, incl
uding alignment, allows for a detailed interpretation of the results.
Asymmetries apparent in the rotational ionic distributions and the obs
erved suppression of transitions involving a large change in angular m
omentum can be explained on the basis of the theory. (C) 1997 American
