Polyacetylene cations (HC2nH+) play important roles in combustion processes and in the chemistry of planetary atmospheres and interstellar clouds. Here we report the electronic spectrum for the triacetylene cation (HC6H+) recorded over the 300–610nm range by photodissociating mass-selected ions tagged with argon atoms in a tandem mass spectrometer. The spectrum shows three band systems that are assigned to (origin transition 16665cm−1), (origin transition 23916cm−1), and (origin transition 29920cm−1). Although the band system is well known, the and band systems are observed for the first time in the gas phase. In addition, the electronic spectrum of the protonated triacteylene cation tagged with an argon atom (HC6-Ar) is reported, providing the first gas-phase spectrum for this species.

Abstract Cesium hydroxide, CsOH, was for the first time characterised on the basis of single-crystal data. The structure is isotypic to the one of the room-temperature modification of NaOH and can be derived from the NaCl structure type thus allowing the comparison of all alkali metal hydroxide structures. Raman spectroscopic investigations show the hydroxide anion to behave almost as a free ion as in the gas phase. The X-ray investigations indicate possible H atom positions.

A predominantly blue “active nitrogen” afterglow was generated in pure flowing nitrogen or in air by using a dielectric discharge at pressures from 1 to 20 Torr. The afterglow contains triplet state molecules and vibrationally excited ground state molecules. These species are produced directly by electron impact without the formation and recombination of nitrogen atoms. The most intense emission is the N2 second positive band system. The N2 first positive and N2+ first negative systems are also observed. The spectral and electrical properties of this discharge are discussed in order to establish guidelines for the analytical use of the afterglow for chemiluminescence reactions. The metastatic nitrogen efficiently transfers its energy to atomic and molecular species which are introduced into the gas phase and these excited species emit characteristic radiation. The effects of electrothermal atomization of Zn and the introduction of gaseous species (e.g., NO) on the afterglow are described.
