Abstract
New spectra of methylene, CH2, in the near infrared region of the singlet band system have been obtained. They were detected by laser transient absorption spectroscopy following excimer laser flash photolysis of ketene, CH2CO, at 308 nm. The new data provide information on the nature and energies of rotational levels in three vibronic states that lie between approximately 11 500 and 13 000 cm1 above the zero point level of the lower, ã1A1, state. Taken together with previous measurements, a fairly complete picture of the vibronic energy levels of CH2 in this region can be built up. There is generally good agreement with the recent computational studies on the singlet states of CH2, but some evidence for discrepancies for levels with K = 3 and higher near the minimum of the [Formula: see text]1B1 potential surface.
