Laser Fluorescence Excitation Band Profiles of Jet-Cooled Tropolone

摘要

Spectroscopic studies demonstrating resolved tunneling doublets suggest that tropolone is a molecule highly suited for investigating the participation of remote heavy atoms in the OH ... O tunneling process. Fluorescence excitation band profiles and relative emission intensities complement tunneling doublets and other spectroscopic information useful for the analysis of intramolecular dynamics. This type of data is particularly useful for considerations of the vibronic couplings, nonradiative relaxation processes, and photochemical dissociation that appear in the previous studies of tropolone. Therefore, in this article we report our initial observations of laser fluorescence excitation transitions of the system of jet-cooled tropolone investigated as a function of the laser intensity.
