The structures of CO–CH3CCH and N2–CH3CCH: Spectroscopic measurements and modeling
Microwave and infrared measurements have been made for the van der Waals complexes N2–CH3CCH and CO–CH3CCH, and their isotopomers. The infrared spectra are complicated by the effects of a ...

We report resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectra of gas-phase indium monochloride (InCl) between 330 and 490 nm. The spectra originate from one-, two-, and three-photon resonances with electronic states that reside between 27 000 and 75 000 cm−1. We assign 12 new Rydberg states. From these Rydberg origins we can extrapolate the adiabatic ionization potential IPa=77 460±600 cm−1 (9.60±0.08 eV). The Rydberg states exhibit vibrational frequencies ranging between 307 and 355 cm−1. The Journal of Chemical Physics is copyrighted by The American Institute of Physics.
