Franck-Condon Factors and Band Origins for MgH in the A2Π-X2Σ+ System

We measure the dispersed spectrum of the A²Π～X²Σ⁺ system of MgH using laser abla-tion/laser induced Fluorescence method and obtain the Frank-Condon factors and related transition frequencies of the A²Π(v′=0)-X²Σ⁺(v〞=0,1) system by analyzing the experimen-tal spectrum. Also, we calculate the Franck-Condon factors and transition frequencies of the A²Π～X²Σ⁺ system of MgH. A comparison of our theoretical calculation and experimental results with other reported theoretical results was carried out as well.     

F2 Σ+ -X 2Σ +Band System of Cobalt Carbide

The laser-induced fluorescence excitation spectrum of CoC was recorded in the spectral region from 13500 cm-1 to 22000 cm-1, in which the CoC molecules were produced by the reaction of sputtered cobalt atoms with methanol under supersonic jet cooled conditions. Much of the visible spectrum was assigned to transitions between the X2∑+ ground state and F2∑+ state. The 11 bands assigned as (v’=3-13, 0) transitions of the F2∑+- X2∑+ band system were observed and rotationally analyzed. Equilibrium constants for the F2∑+ state were Te=1362 cm-1, ωe=669 cm-1 ,ωe?e=4.3 cm-1, Be=0.546 cm-1, and Re=1.758A. Some new bands were observed.     

C4H（2Σ+）+H2反应机理的直接动力学研究

贫氢分子CnH是燃烧火焰、行星大气中的重要的中间体.这些分子与其它一些分子或自由基的反应在星际化学中起着非常重要的作用.虽然这些分子的电子结构和光谱性质已经进行了广泛的研究,但是研究这些反应的机理和动力学性质也是亟需的.因此,我们采用直接动力学方法对线性分子丁二炔自由基C4H(CCCCH)夺氢气(H2)分子中HAT的反应的微观机理和动力学性质进行了理论研究.本研究分别在BB1K/6-311+G(2d,2p),B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,2p)和M06-2x/6-311+G(2d,2p)水平上优化得到了各稳定点的结构及振动频率.为了得到更为可靠的反应能量和势能面信息,在BB1K/6-311+G(2d,2p)优化结构的基础上用CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ水平进行了单点能量校正.对于此反应研究了两条不同的氢吸附通道,C4H(C1C2C3C4H)中的C1和C4分别吸氢,即通道1(R1)和通道2(R2).计算得出:通道1和通道2的能垒分别为3.58 kcal/mol和26.56 kcal/mol,结果表明C4H中C1端吸氢是主要通道.反应过程中的电子转移可以为理解氢原子转移(HAT)提供重要的线索,因此,我们利用NBO对反应过程中的电子转移行为进行了详细的分析.本工作运用经典过渡态理论(VTST)与变分过渡态理论(CVT)和变分过渡态理论结合小曲率隧道效应校正(CVT/SCT)的方法计算了该反应在40～1000 K温度区间的速率常数.除对于最低频率的配分函数采用了阻尼内转动近似外,其它频率都采用谐振子模型处理.计算得到的总的CVT/SCT反应速率常数与已有的实验值符合得很好.我们还提供了40～1000K温度范围内的三参数Arrhenius表达式.这些公式有利于今后在较宽的温度范围内迄今没有实验数据的反应的研究.     

High Resolution Laser Excitation Spectra and Franck-Condon Factors of A2Π-X2Σ+ Electronic Transition of MgF

Magnesium monofluoride (MgF) is proposed as an ideal candidate radical for direct laser cooling. Here, the rotationally resolved laser spectra of MgF for the A²Π-X²Σ⁺ electronic transition system were recorded by using laser induced fluorescence technique. The MgF radicals were produced by discharging SF₆/Ar gas mixtures between the tips of two magnesium needles in a supersonic jet expansion. We recorded a total of 19 vibrational bands belonging to three sequences of Δv=0, ±1 in the region of 348-370 nm. Accurate spectroscopic constants for both X²Σ⁺ and A²Π states are determined from rotational analysis of the experimental spectra. Spectroscopic parameters, including the Franck-Condon factors (FCFs), are determined from the experimental results and the Rydberg-Klein-Rees (RKR) calculations. Significant discrepancies between the experimentally measured and RKR-calculated FCFs are found, indicating that the FCFs are nearly independent of the spin-orbit coupling in the A²Π state. Potential energy curves (PECs) and FCFs determined here provide necessary data for the theoretical simulation of the laser-cooling scheme of MgF.     

Theoretical studies on N-loss predissociation mechanisms of N2O+ (A?2Σ+) in Cs symmetry

The N-loss predissociation mechanisms of the A ²Σ⁺ (2 ² A′) state of N₂O⁺ to the first and second dissociation limits were studied in the C _s symmetry. The potential energy curves (PECs) and minimum energy crossing points (MECPs) for the C _s states of N₂O⁺ were calculated at the CAS levels. On the basis of our CAS calculation results (CASPT2 energetic results and CASSCF spin orbit couplings), we suggest two processes for N-loss predissociation mechanisms of A ²Σ⁺ (2 ² A′) to the first and second limits. The first two steps in the two processes are the same: A ²Σ⁺ passes through the 2 ² A′/1 ⁴ A″ MECP and then reaches the 1 ⁴ A″ (1 ⁴Σ⁻) PEC. The 2 ² A′/1 ⁴ A″ MECP has a bent geometry and is slightly higher in energy than the transition state along the 1 ⁴ A″ PEC. Our mechanisms are different from the previously suggested mechanisms (via 1 ⁴Π).

The electronic transition moment function of the E1Πu-X1Σ g+ system of Ag2

Measurement of relative band strengths of 10 absorption bands of the E ¹Π _u -X ¹Σ _g ⁺ system of diatomic silver, ^107,109Ag₂, was performed for the first time. Theoretical analysis of the experimental data, based on Rydberg-Klein-Rees potential energy curves, revealed that assumption of the r-centroid approximation is valid for this system. Comparison of the measured and computed band strength ratios for 5 pairs of bands having common lower levels led to the following linear relative electronic transition moment function for the ^107,109Ag₂ E-X band system: R_e ([`(r)]<sub>V￠V"</sub> ) = 2.36[`(r)]_V￠V" - 5.64R_e (\bar r_{V'V'} ) = 2.36\bar r_{V'V'} - 5.64, in arbitrary units, over the 2.65–2.73 ? of internuclear distance.     

High Precision Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy of 6υ3 Overtone Band of 14N2 16O near 775 nm

Transitions of the 6υ₃ overtone band of ¹⁴N₂ ¹⁶O near 775 nm have been studied by continuous-wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy. Line positions and intensities were derived from a fit of the line shape using a hard-collisional profile. The line positions determined with absolute accuracy of 5×10^-4 cm^-1 allowed us to reveal finer ro-vibrational couplings taking place after J>14 except a strong anharmonic interaction identified by the effective Hamiltonian model. The absolute line intensities have also been retrieved with an estimated accuracy of 2% for a majority of the unblended lines. A new set of ro-vibrational and dipole moment parameters were derived from the experimental values. A comparison between the line positions and intensities of the 6υ₃ band obtained in this work and those from previous studies is given.

Photodissociation Spectra of OCS+ via B2∑+←X2∏ Transitions

In the wavelength range of 231-275 nm, we have studied the mass-resolved dissociation spectra of OCS⁺ via B²∑⁺←X²∏_3/2(000) and B²∑⁺←X²∏_1/2(000, 001) transitions by preparing OCS⁺ ions in the well-defined spin-orbit states. The spectroscopic constants ofυ1(CS stretch)=828.9 (810.4) cm^-1, υ2(bend)=491.3 cm^-1 and υ3(CO stretch)=1887.2 cm^-1 for OCS⁺(B²∑⁺) are deduced. The observed dependence of the υ2(bend) mode excitation of B²∑⁺ on the spin-orbit splitting of X²∏(Ω=1/2, 3/2) in the B²∑⁺←X²∏ transition can be attributed to the K coupling between the (000)²∏_1/2 and (010)²∑⁺_1/2 vibronic levels of X²∏ state, which makes the B²∑⁺(010)←X²∏_1/2(000) transition possible.     

Photodissociation Dynamics of CS2 Near 204 nm: The S(3PJ)+CS(X1Σ+)Channels

We study the photodissociation dynamics of CS\begin{document}$_2$\end{document} in the ultraviolet region using the time-sliced velocity map ion imaging technique. The S(\begin{document}$^3$\end{document}P\begin{document}$_J$\end{document})+CS(\begin{document}$X^1\Sigma^+$\end{document}) product channels were observed and identified at four wavelengths of 201.36, 203.10, 204.85 and 206.61 nm. In the measured images of S(\begin{document}$^3$\end{document}P\begin{document}$_{J=2, 1, 0}$\end{document}), the vibrational states of the CS(\begin{document}$X^1\Sigma^+$\end{document}) co-products were partially resolved and the vibrational state distributions were determined. Moreover, the product total kinetic energy releases and the anisotropic parameters were derived. The relatively small anisotropic parameter values indicate that the S(\begin{document}$^3$\end{document}P\begin{document}$_{J=2, 1, 0}$\end{document})+CS(\begin{document}$X^1\Sigma^+$\end{document}) channels are very likely formed via the indirect predissociation process of CS\begin{document}$_2$\end{document}. The study of the S(\begin{document}$^3$\end{document}P\begin{document}$_{J=2, 1, 0}$\end{document})+CS(\begin{document}$X^1\Sigma^+$\end{document}) channels, which come from the spin-orbit coupling dissociation process of CS\begin{document}$_2$\end{document}, shows that nonadiabatic process plays a role in the ultraviolet photodissociation of CS\begin{document}$_2$\end{document}.
