The B - X laser-induced-fluorescence (LIF) spectrum of jet-cooled iso-propoxy radical (i-C_3H_7O\cdot) has been recorded. The observed rotational and fine structure of the origin band has been well simulated with rotational constants for both the X and B states and the electron spin-rotation constants of the X state. The line intensities are well simulated with a parallel transition type, requiring the same symmetry for the X as for the B state (A ^'), which confirms the previous suggestion S. C. Foster and T. A. Miller, J. Phys. Chem. 93, 5986 (1989).} that going from ethoxy (C_2H_5O\cdot) to iso-propoxy, the energy ordering of the in- and the out-of-plane half-filled p-orbitals is reversed and the ground state symmetry changes from A^" to A^'. The fit rotational constants are consistent with those obtained from the quantum chemistry calculations. However, the fit spin-rotation constants, particularly the nonzero epsilonaa with a-axis perpendicular to the C_s plane, can not be explained by second-order perturbation theory. Nevertheless they can be semi-quantitatively explained based on the transferability of the electron spin-molecular rotation tensor. in the axis system defined by the half-filled p-orbital and the pπ-orbital using ethoxy as the reference molecule. The failure of the second-order perturbation theory, as well as that of the pure precession approximation, is due to the strong vibronic interaction between the near-degenerate X and A states. The vibrationless levels of these two states are separated by only 68 cm-1 as determined in previous disperse-fluorescence study. The near degeneracy of the X and A states of iso-propoxy and reversal of the energy ordering going from ethoxy to iso-propoxy have also been demonstrated in quantum chemistry calculations. Based on the result of iso-propoxy, spin-rotation constants of other secondary alkoxy radicals can be predicted and used for the simulation of the B - X rovibronic spectra of these radicals. Specifically, analysis of the high-resolution LIF spectrum of cyclohexoxy (c-C_6H11O\cdot) is ongoing.
