Abstract
- The vacuum ultraviolet pulsed field ionization-photoelectron (PFI-PE) spectra for CO[sub 2] have been measured in the energy range of 13.6-14.7 eV, revealing complex vibronic structures for the ground CO[sub 2][sup +](X [sup 2]Π[sub g]) state. Many vibronic bands for CO[sub 2][sup +](X [sup 2]Π[sub g]), which were not resolved in previous photoelectron studies, are identified in the present measurement based on comparison with available optical data and theoretical predictions. As observed in the HeI photoelectron spectrum of CO[sub 2], the PFI-PE spectrum is dominated by the symmetry allowed ν[sub 1][sup +] (symmetric stretch) vibrational progression for CO[sub 2][sup +](X [sup 2]Π[sub g]). However, PFI-PE vibronic bands due to excitation of the symmetry disallowed ν[sub 2][sup +] (bending) and ν[sub 3][sup +] (asymmetric stretch) modes with both odd quanta, together with the symmetry allowed even quanta excitations, are clearly discernible. The simulation of rotational contours resolved in PFI-PE vibronic bands associated with excitation to the (ν[sub 1][sup +]=0-1, ν[sub 2][sup +]=0-2, ν[sub 3][sup +]=0) vibrational levels has yielded accurate ionization energies for the formation of these vibronic states from CO[sub 2](X [sup 1]Σ[sub g][sup +]). © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
