The electronic spectrum of the AsF2 radical was observed between 330 and 380 nm using one-color, mass-resolved, 2+1 resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectroscopy. The spectrum arises from two-photon resonances with the
(T0=54 355±15 cm1, 
=813±6 cm1, and 
=308±5 cm1) and
(T0=57 480±15 cm1, 
=810±10 cm1, and 
=310±20 cm1), Rydberg states. A third photon ionized the radicals. The REMPI spectrum exhibits vibrational hot bands that give spectroscopic constants for AsF2 (
2B1) of 
=705±10 cm1 and 
=285±10 cm1. Solutions of the Rydberg equation indicate that plausible assignments for the
and
states are limited to the set of 4d and 5p Rydberg states.©1997 American Institute of Physics.
