説明
<jats:p>A new band system of C2, e Π3g−c Σ3u+ was studied by ab initio quantum chemical and experimental methods. The calculations were carried out at the multireference configuration interaction level of theory with Davidson’s correction using aug-cc-pV6Z basis set and include core and core-valence correlation as well as relativistic corrections computed with aug-cc-pCVQZ and cc-pVQZ bases, respectively. The vibrational energies and rotational constants of the upper e Π3g state were calculated from the computed ab initio potential energy curve. The ab initio results indicate that the electronic transition moment of the e Π3g−c Σ3u+ system is approximately one-half that of the Fox–Herzberg e Π3g−a Π3u system. Franck–Condon factors were calculated for both systems and used to guide experiments aimed at discovering the e Π3g−c Σ3u+ system. The e Π3g(v′=4)−c Σ3u+(v″=3) band of jet-cooled C2 was successfully observed by laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy by monitoring the ensuing e Π3g−a Π3u emission.</jats:p>
