Jahn-Teller Coupling in the X̃ E Ground States of the CF3O and CF3S Radicals
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Jahn-Teller and spin-orbit coupling in the ground states of the CF3O and CF3S radicals have been investigated experimentally by dispersed fluorescence spectroscopy. These spectra are analyzed using a theoretical model that simultaneously includes spin-orbit coupling and multimode Jahn-Teller, both linear and quadratic. We find that in each of these radicals a moderate linear Jahn-Teller effect exists in ν6, with a much smaller coupling in ν5. These results are compared and contrasted with those for the related radicals CH3O and CH3S. The experimental data and theoretical analyses of these four radicals represent the most thorough investigations to date of the combined effects of spin-orbit and Jahn-Teller coupling.

The Calculation of Spectroscopic Jahn-Teller Parameters by ab initio Methods
We report a general method for the calculation of Jahn-Teller coupling constants by ab initio methods widely available today in standard packages. The vibrational frequencies corresponding to those obtained experimentally are calculated at the symmetric position using a generalized restricted Hartree-Fock (GRHF) wavefunction. The energy of the symmetric configuration is calculated as a conical ...

The recent cavity ringdown (CRD) measurement of the forbidden à 2E ← X̃ A2 transition of the nitrate radical NO3 reveals a rich, well-resolved spectrum in the near-infrared. The spectroscopic detail provides a new window onto the Jahn–Teller (JT) and pseudo-Jahn–Teller (PJT) effects in NO3. This paper reviews the current experimental evidence for vibronic coupling in the à state and discusses th...
