Abstract
- Electronic absorption spectra of the protonated polyacetylenic chains H2CnH(n 4, 6, 8) and the neutral H2C8H have been observed in 6 K neon matrixes after mass selection. The wavelength of the H2CnHelectronic transitions depends quasi-linearly on n, typical of carbon chains. The origin band is at 286.0, 378.6, and 467.6 nm for n 4, 6, and 8, respectively. Two ground-state vibrations of H2C4Hin the IR absorption spectrum were also detected. On the basis of the spectroscopic trends and the assignment of the vibrational frequencies in the ground and excited electronic states, it is concluded that the H2CnHspecies are C2vlinear carbon chains with one H atom on one end and two on the other.
