چکیده

We have recorded several rovibronic bands of CH3OO and CD3OO in their A<--X transitions in the range of 1.18-1.40 microm with the cavity ringdown technique. While the electronic origins for these species have been reported previously, many newly observed rovibronic bands are described here. The experimental vibrational frequencies (given as nu in the unit cm(-1) in this paper) for the COO bending (nu8) and COO symmetric stretching (nu7) modes in the A state are 378 and 887 cm(-1) for CH3OO, and 348 and 824 cm(-1) for CD3OO, respectively. In addition, two other vibrational frequencies were observed for the A state of CD3OO, namely, nu5 (954 cm(-1)) and nu6 (971 cm(-1)). These experimental vibrational frequencies for the A state of both CH3OO and CD3OO are in good agreement with predictions from quantum-chemical calculations at the UB3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ level. The enhanced activity of the nu5 vibrational mode in CD3OO is rationalized by mode mixing with the nu7 mode, as supported by calculations of multidimensional Franck-Condon factors. In addition, many hot bands involving the methyl torsional mode (nu12) are observed for both normal and deuterated methyl peroxy. These bands include the "typical" sequence transitions and some "atypical" ones due to the nature of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions which are a consequence of the low, but very different, torsional barriers in the X and A states. In addition, the 12(2)2 band in CH3OO and the 12(3)3 band in CD3OO show quite different structures than the origin bands, an effect which results from tunneling splittings comparable to the rotational contour.

Detection and Characterization of Alkyl Peroxy Radicals Using Cavity Ringdown Spec- Troscopy

Peroxy radicals form a class of important intermediates in oxidation chemistry. In recent years much effort has been put into the study of the kinetics of peroxy radicals largely via monitoring their broad and structureless A A UV absorption transition. The A A electronic transition of the peroxies, residing in the near-IR region, has also been observed, but due to the relative inaccessibility ...
