Dipole moments of highly vibrationally excited water.

چکیده
The intensity of water absorption in the region of the solar spectrum plays a dominant role in atmospheric energy balance and hence strongly influences climate. Significant controversy exists over how to model this absorption accurately. We report dipole moment measurements of highly vibrationally excited water, which provide stringent tests of intensities determined by other means. Our measurements and accompanying calculations suggest that the best currently available potential and dipole surfaces do not accurately model intensities in the optical spectrum of water.

Microscopic Parameters in the Excited State of Toluene and Some of Its Haloderavatives
The Ultraviolet-visible (UV) spectra of toluene, ortho-bromo and para-bromo toluene in different solvents have been studied. The electric dipole moments and polarizabilities in the molecular excited electronic states were determined. It was found that the electric dipole moments for the excited states (µ*) and the ground states (µ) of these compounds are equal, and the change in dipole moment i...

Sequential Monte Carlo and quantum mechanical calculations of the electronic polarization of the ground and first vertical excited states of 1H-benzotriazole in water are made. Using statistically uncorrelated configurations and CASSCF ab initio calculations the increase in the ground and excited state dipole moments of 1Hbenzotriazole from gas phase to aqueous environment are obtained as 2.89 ...

Rydberg–valence interactions in CH2Cl\CH2¿Cl photodissociation: Dependence of absorption probability on ground state vibrational excitation
A strong enhancement of absorption to the lowest A1 state is observed for vibrationally excited chloromethyl radicals. It is demonstrated that this enhancement is due to a significant increase in both electronic and vibrational Franck–Condon factors. Electronic structure calculations of potential energy surfaces ~PESs! and transition dipole moments for the ground and the two lowest excited stat...
متن کاملGeneration and characterization of highly vibrationally excited molecular beam.
A simple method to generate and characterize a pure highly vibrationally excited azulene molecular beam is demonstrated. Azulene molecules initially excited to the S4 state by 266-nm UV photons reach high vibrationally excited levels of the ground electronic state upon rapid internal conversion from the S4 electronically excited state. VUV laser beams at 157 and 118 nm, respectively, are used t...
