Mini-Symposium: Spectroscopic Perturbations

Scientific paper

We report the first recording of the visible spectrum of gas-phase Si_3. A cold molecular beam sample was produced by skimming the output of a pulsed discharge source. The 545-490 nm spectral region was examined using both mass-selected REMPI and pulsed dye laser excitation with LIF detection. Dispersed fluorescence and lifetime measurements of numerous bands were recorded. The spectrum has an origin at 18600 Cm-1 and a progression in the symmetric stretch with a harmonic frequency of 445 Cm-1. The bands are assigned to the 13A_1''- tilde{a}A_2' transition of the D3h isomer based upon new and previous predictions. A vibrational progression observed in the dispersed fluorescence having a spacing of 505 Cm-1 is in agreement with previous ZEKE studies. An additional vibrational progression observed in dispersed fluorescence having a spacing of 173 Cm-1 is in agreement with the bending frequency for the tilde{X}1A_1 state of the C2v isomer estimated from the pure rotational spectrum.
