Abstract
Stimulated emission pumping (SEP) spectroscopy has been used to investigate rovibrational level mixing in the ground singlet state of methyl glyoxal. A low resolution (0.35 cm−1) SEP survey spectrum allows accurate frequency assignments for 15 normal vibrations and seven hindered rotor levels. High resolution (0.05 cm−1) SEP spectra are reported for selected vibrational bands, including the fundamental vibrations of the symmetric carbonyl stretch and symmetric carbonyl bend. A van der Waals interaction between the neighboring carbonyl oxygen and methyl hydrogens is found to influence mixing of the carbonyl vibrations, affirming the results of previous studies.
