The electronic spectra of silyl radicals, SiH3 and SiD3, were observed between 450 and 610 nm (49 200-65 200 cm−1 ) by resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectroscopy. The spectra were produced through a 3+1 REMPI mechanism. Spectra of four new planar Rydberg states were observed and assigned. In SiH3 the observed states and spectroscopic constants are D-tilde 2A<sup>[script ']</sup><sub>1</sub>(3d)[large-closed-square] T0=49 787(30), omega2=810(31) cm−1; I-tilde [script '] (4d): T0=56 253(30), omega2=814(25) cm−1; J-tilde [script '] (4d): T0=57 726(30), omega2=835(26) cm−1; and L-tilde (5d): T0=59 615(30) cm−1, omega2=839(26) cm−1. In SiD3 the observed states and spectroscopic constants are D-tilde 2A<sup></sup><sub>1</sub>(3d) T0=49 685(30), omega2=600(28) cm−1; I-tilde [script '] (4d):T0=56 205(30), omega2=600(17) cm−1; and J-tilde [script '] (4d):T0=57 840(30), omega2=603(20) cm−1. The differences between 2+1 and 3+1 REMPI spectra are explained by a Deltal rule, where l is the electronic orbital angular momentum. The H-tilde, K-tilde, and N-tilde states observed in the 2+1 REMPI spectrum of SiD3 spectrum and reported in J. Chem. Phys. 91, 3340 (1989) are reassigned as the H-tilde 2E[script '] (4p), K-tilde 2E[script '] (4f), and N-tilde 2E[script '] (5f).

  30. In the ground state of the silyl radical, the double-minimum potential of the nu<sub>2</sub><sup>[double-prime]</sup> umbrella mode causes the upsilon<sub>2</sub><sup>[double-prime]</sup> = 0, 1 vibrational levels to be nearly degenerate. In SiH3 these levels lie <0.15 cm−1 apart. In electronic spectra the nu2 mode follows the selection rule: upsilon2 = 0, ±2, ±4,... For details, see Ref. 2.
