Analysis of the Vibrational Structure of the n–π* Transition in the High-Resolution UV Absorption Spectrum of Methacryloyl Fluoride in the Gas Phase

Аннотация

The UV absorption spectrum of methacryloyl fluoride molecule in the gas phase is obtained in the wavenumber range of 32300–35900 cm⁻¹. The resolved vibrational structure of this spectrum consists of 153 absorption bands. The assignment of all bands has been made for the first time. Values ν_00trans = 35670.0 сm⁻¹ and ν_00cis = 35371.1 cm⁻¹ are determined. The fundamental frequencies for isomers in the S₀ and S₁ states are found. Several Deslandres Tables (DTs) are constructed for the torsional vibration of the s-trans- and s-cis-isomers of the investigated molecule using the NONIUS program. The origins in these DTs correspond to bands attributed to ν₀₀, and to the fundamental frequencies of each isomer in states S₀ and S₁. These DTs are used to determine harmonic frequencies ω_e, anharmonicity coefficients х₁₁, and the frequencies of torsional vibration 0–v transitions up to high values of vibrational quantum number v for s-trans- and s-cis-isomers in both electronic states. The frequencies of torsional vibrations for the s-trans-isomer and the s-cis-isomer in the S₀ state are ν″₁ = 80.9 сm⁻¹ and ν″₁ = 59.8 сm⁻¹, respectively. The frequencies for the s-trans- isomer and the s-cis-isomer in the S₁ state are ν′₁ = 134.1 сm⁻¹ and ν′₁ = 103.6 cm⁻¹, respectively.
