Abstract
The room temperature gas phase ultraviolet absorption spectrum and cross sections of vinyl [C2H3] radicals have been determined in the spectral range 225 nm-238 nm, employing cavity ring-down absorption spectroscopy. Vinyl radicals in these experiments were produced from the 193-nm excimer laser photolysis of methyl-vinyl-ketone [CH3COC2H3] and vinyl bromide [C2H3Br]. The spectra obtained from the two systems were nearly identical. The observed spectrum exhibits a relatively broad and featureless absorption with a cross section of 5.3 x 1018 cm2 molecule-1 at 230 nm. The electronic transitions in the vinyl radical have been calculated by ab initio quantum chemical methods at the CIS, EOM-CCSD, CASSCF and CASPT2 levels of theories and assign the new observed band to the highly allowed and in plane π* [2a]Citation
