Abstract:

CH radicals were prepared by photolysis of CHBr3 molecule, and were ionized by the same laser. Monitoring CH+, C+ and H+ ions signals, the CH REMPI spectrum was obtained in the range of 241-251nm.The CH D2Π(v=2)←A2Δ(v=0)(1+1) resonance transition was assigned. The rotational constants of CH D2Π(v=2) state were obtained by analyzing the REMPI spectrum. It was found that there is a broad feature peak at 247.6nm in C+ mass-specific spectrum. Based on the theoretical result, the broad feature peak is correlated with an unreported predissociation Rydberg state (3 2Π) which converges to CH+(A,1Π) state.
