Infrared cavity ringdown spectroscopy of water clusters: O–D stretching bands
نویسندگان
چکیده
The infrared O–D stretching spectrum of fully deuterated jet-cooled water clusters is reported. Sequential red-shifts in the single donor O–D stretches, which characterize the cooperative effects in the hydrogen bond network, were accurately measured for clusters up to (D2O)8 . Detailed comparisons with corresponding data obtained for (H2O)n clusters are presented. Additionally, rotational analyses of two D2O dimer bands are presented. These measurements were made possible by the advent of infrared cavity ringdown laser absorption spectroscopy ~IR-CRLAS! using Raman-shifted pulsed dye lasers, which creates many new opportunities for gas phase IR spectroscopy. © 1998 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-9606~98!00847-2#

Direct Measurement of Water Cluster Concentrations by Infrared Cavity Ringdown Laser Absorption Spectroscopy
The recently developed technique of infrared cavity ringdown laser absorption spectroscopy (IR-CRLAS) has been employed in the 3.0 μm region to determine the absolute concentrations of water dimers, trimers, tetramers, and pentamers in a pulsed supersonic expansion for the first time. Additional spectral features are reported, one of which we assign to the bound O-H stretching bands of the hexa...
متن کاملInfrared Cavity Ringdown Spectroscopy of the Water Cluster Bending Vibrations
We report the first measurement of water monomer bending vibrations in gaseous (H2O)n clusters. Infrared cavity ringdown spectroscopy reveals discrete and sequentially blue-shifted bands near 6 μm for n ) 2-4 and unresolved broad features for n > 4, supporting both theoretical predictions and solid-state spectroscopy results. These measurements provide a measure of the monomer distortion that a...
متن کاملCharacterization of the (D2O)2 Hydrogen-Bond-Acceptor Antisymmetric Stretch by IR Cavity Ringdown Laser Absorption Spectroscopy
The IR-CRLAS technique has been used to measure the mid-infrared O-D stretching spectrum of the fully deuterated gas-phase water dimer for the first time. The instrumentally limited resolution of 1 GHz resolves the acceptor tunneling splittings and the rotational line manifolds. The analysis of these splittings exploits the local nature of the excitation and yields a description of the acceptor...
متن کاملInfrared spectroscopy of the ν2 band of the water monomer and small water clusters (H2O)n=2,3,4 in helium droplets.
We have recorded infrared spectra in the frequency range of the ν2 band of water monomer and water clusters in superfluid helium droplets. In order to be able to map the chemically important fingerprint range, we have used an IR quantum cascade laser as a radiation source. We were able to observe three ro-vibrational transitions of the water monomer between 1590 and 1670 cm(-1). The lines were ...

Cavity ringdown spectra of the near IR Ã2A′ − X̃2A′′ electronic transition of acetyl peroxy radical and its perdeutero analogue are reported. The electronic origin for the CH3C(O)O2 is observed at 5582.5(5) cm−1. Extensive ab initio calculations have been carried out to predict frequencies and help assign the electronic origin, observed vibrational hot bands and several à state vibrational frequ...
