Abstract
Vibrational spectrum of vinyl bromide cation in the ground electronic state was obtained by one-photon mass-analyzed threshold ionization (MATI) spectroscopy using coherent vacuum ultraviolet radiation generated by four-wave difference frequency mixing in Kr. From MATI spectrum, ionization energy to the ground state of the cation was determined to be 9.8171±0.0006 eV (79 180±5 cm−1). Almost complete vibrational assignments for the peaks in the MATI spectrum were possible by utilizing vibrational frequencies and Franck–Condon factors calculated at the Becke three parameter Lee–Yang–Parr (B3LYP)/6-311++G(df,pd) level. Franck–Condon analysis for one-photon MATI spectra is especially useful because calculations of only the ground electronic states are involved while that for two-photon MATI spectra requires excited state calculations.
