The nu(1) CH stretch, a previously uncharacterized mode of the ketenyl (HCCO) radical, has been identified at 3232 cm(-1) through time-resolved Fourier transform infrared emission spectroscopy of rovibrationally excited ketenyl generated, along with ethyl (CH(2)CH(3)), with near-unit quantum efficiency via the 193 nm photodissociation of ethyl ethynyl ether. IR emission from the vibrationally excited photoproducts was detected with both temporal and frequency resolutions. Spectral assignments were supported by comparison with theoretical calculations as well as two-dimensional correlation analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
