Abstract

Helium tagging photodissociation action spectroscopy in the gas phase together with laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy in neon matrix has been used to probe the photophysics of electrosprayed rhodamine B cation cooled to < 5 K and studied in two different minimally perturbing environments ([RhB•He]+ as well as [RhB]+ in solid neon). Helium tagging experiments were performed using a newly developed apparatus He-TAG. LIF measurements were carried out using an improved matrix-isolation spectroscopy machine Depo-II. The resulting, partially vibrationally resolved electronic spectra of the S0→S1, resp. S1→S0 transition provide benchmarks for gauging the theoretical description of this prototypical organic dye. As a first approach, we have compared our spectra to TD-DFT-based predictions of vibronic structure at the Franck-Condon (FC) and Franck-Condon Herzberg-Teller (FCHT) levels.
