Abstract

The vibration-rotation infrared spectrum of the ν3 fundamental band of the methyl cation CH+3 has been observed using a difference frequency laser system. The analysis of the spectrum demonstrates the D3h symmetry of the ion. This work marks the beginning of high resolution spectroscopy of simple polyatomic hydrocarbon cations.
