Abstract

The inner valence C 2Σ + g electronic state of the acetylene cation has been studied by means of ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy using HeII excitation. Vibrational structure is resolved and is interpreted in terms of a vibrational progression in the totally symmetric v 2(σ + g) mode. A Franck—Condon analysis has been carried out and force constants corresponding to the CH stretching, CC stretching and CHCC stretching interaction have been determined. The CH and CC bond lengths have been deduced and the values are found to be 1.088 ± 0.005 and 1.439 ± 0.005 Å, respectively.
