The gas-phase infrared spectrum of the coronene cation in the 700-1700 cm-1 range is presented. The spectrum is obtained via multiphoton dissociation spectroscopy of ionic coronene stored in a quadrupole ion trap using the intense and narrowband infrared radiation of a free electron laser. The spectrum shows main absorption peaks at 849, 1327, and 1533 cm-1 along with some weak and barely resolved features, in good agreement with density functional calculations if the effects of vibrational anharmonicity are accounted for. Relative line intensities show remarkable differences with respect to matrix isolation data. The novel experimental technique applied here leads in a natural way to an absorption spectrum of highly excited species. Hence, measured absorption spectra can be compared rather directly to interstellar emission spectra, negating to some extent the need for detailed model calculations.
