Description

The rotationally resolved, gas phase vibronic spectrum of dichlorocarbene has been recorded using the technique of pyrolysis jet spectroscopy. The rovibronic analysis has established the band origin of the A 1B1--X 1A1 electronic transition to be at 17 255.67 cm-1. The observed vibrational frequencies in the ground and excited states are very close to published values from matrix isolation data. The excited state structure has a 131.4 degree ClCCl angle and a 1.652 A CCl bond length
