The progression of ammonia bands which extends from 1689 to 1400 Å has been photographed in absorption at high resolution. Six bands have been analyzed and found to be of the perpendicular type. The analysis shows that the molecule is planar in the excited state and that vibrational levels observed in the progression are those of the out-of-plane vibration. The excited electronic state is of the E′′ type. In addition to the normal Coriolis interaction of the degenerate levels, a second effect has been observed which behaves like the Coriolis interaction recently described as 'giant l-type doubling' by Garing, Nielsen, and Rao. No clear evidence has been found for any distortion of the degenerate state from D3h symmetry.

The ultraviolet spectrum of cyclobutanone vapor has been recorded under conditions of high resolution. The oxygen wagging vibrational levels have been found to be strongly anharmonic in the 1A2 electronic state and have been fitted to a double minimum potential function.

Electro-optical parameters of fluorescein molecule in the second excited electronic state and information on the interactions with solvents were obtained from a solvatochromic study. Parameters of the solvents such as the refractive index, electrical permittivity and Kamlet-Taft parameters (hydrogen bond acidity and basicity) were related with the experimentally recorded shifts of UV absorption spectral band of fluorescein dissolved in several solvents. Through a variational method, the electric dipole moment and polarizability in excited state of fluorescein molecule were estimated. The calculus requires some parameters of the fluorescein molecule in the ground electronic state, which were determined through a quantum-mechanical study.

The 2800 Å band system of p-dibromobenzene has been photographed under high resolution and an extended vibrational analysis has been carried out. The analysis is not inconsistent with the assignment of the system to a 1B2u ← 1Ag transition, by analogy with other p-dihalogenated benzenes. The observed spectrum can be explained in terms of a number of strong type-B vibronic bands and a considerably smaller number of type-A vibronic bands. The extensive sequence structure is adequately accounted for, and can be related to observations on other halogenated benzene molecules. Thirteen ground state and nine excited state fundamental vibrational frequencies have been assigned.

The high-resolution Fourier transform infrared spectrum of nitrogen trifluoride NF3has been studied in the v1+ v4perpendicular band region around 1523 cm−1. All experimental data have been refined applying various reduction forms of the effective rovibrational Hamiltonian developed for an isolated degenerate state of a symmetric top molecule. The v1= v4= 1 excited state of the14NF3oblate molecule was treated with models taking into account ℓ- andk-type intravibrational resonances. Parameters up to sixth order have been accurately determined and the unitary equivalence of the derived parameter sets in different reductions was demonstrated.

Analytic second nuclear derivatives for excited electronic state energies have been implemented for RI-CC2, CIS(D) and ADC(2) models and used in VPT2 calculations of excited state frequencies.


The carbon monoxide flame bands have been photographed under high resolution from an afterglow source. Bands in the wavelength range 3100 to 3800 Å show a pattern which has been reproduced by calculations of the energies of high vibrational levels of the ground state of CO 2 . The structure of this energy level pattern is strongly affected by extensive Fermi resonance in the 1 Σ + g state. The spectrum is emitted by excited CO 2 molecules which radiate to the ground state from the lowest vibrational level and from the v ´ 2 = 1 level of a B 2 state. This excited state lies approximately 46 000 cm -1 above the lowest level of the ground state, an d has an OCO angle of 122 + 2° and a CO bond length of 1*246 ± 0*008 Å. Combination of these results with the work of other authors shows that the excited state is a 1 B 2 state, and that the carbon monoxide flame bands are associated with the weak absorption system of CO 2 at 1475 Å.

In order to gain insight into fundamental aspects of organic photocell materials, we have calculated ground and excited electronic-state structures and molecular vibrations for an isolated HAT6 molecule (hexakis(n-hexyloxy)triphenylene). Excited-state calculations are carried out using time-dependent density functional theory and frequencies are evaluated analytically using coupled perturbed Kohn–Sham equations. These model calculations have been validated against new infrared and ultraviolet data on HAT6 in solution. The main allowed valence excitation, having the largest oscillator strength, is chosen for the structural and vibrational investigations. Comparison with the ground-state vibrational dynamics reveals surprisingly large spectral differences. In addition, the alkoxy tails, which are usually considered to play only a structural role, are clearly involved in the molecular vibrations and the structural distortion of the excited electronic state compared with the ground state. The tails may play a more important role in charge separation, transport and excited-state relaxation than was previously thought. In this case, chemical modification of the tails would allow vibrational and related properties of organic photocell materials to be tailored.

Structural information on electronically excited neutral molecules can be indirectly retrieved, largely through pump–probe and rotational spectroscopy measurements with the aid of calculations. Here, we demonstrate the direct structural retrieval of neutral carbonyl disulfide (CS2) in theB∼1B2excited electronic state using laser-induced electron diffraction (LIED). We unambiguously identify the ultrafast symmetric stretching and bending of the field-dressed neutral CS2molecule with combined picometer and attosecond resolution using intrapulse pump–probe excitation and measurement. We invoke the Renner–Teller effect to populate theB∼1B2excited state in neutral CS2, leading to bending and stretching of the molecule. Our results demonstrate the sensitivity of LIED in retrieving the geometric structure of CS2, which is known to appear as a two-center scatterer.
