Abstract: | The vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) absorption spectrum of difluoromethane (CH2F2) was studied using synchrotron radiation from the storage ring Indus-1, Indore, India. Spectra were recorded in the spectral region 1050–1500 Å (~8.3–11.8 eV) at a resolution of 1.5 Å. Three absorption band systems were observed in this region. Overall features observed are in good agreement with previously published work. Some discrepancies in assignments of the observed vibronic bands carried out by previous workers have been resolved. The observed bands have been classified in terms of Rydberg series. |
