Abstract:
The rotationally resolved infrared spectrum of the nu(1) band of the long-lived (a) over tilde(1)Delta electronic state of the CCO radical has been observed between 1918 and 1970 cm(-1) using a tunable diode laser spectrometer. Metastable CCO was produced in a discharge through a flowing mixture of carbon suboxide and helium. Fifty eight rovibrational transitions in the P and IZ branches and the five lowest J lines in the Q branch were measured. The band origin was determined to be 1942.8515(19) cm(-1). This is in close agreement to the values determined previously from photoelectron spectroscopy of CCO-. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-9606(99)00902-2].
