We report zero kinetic energy (ZEKE) photoelectron spectroscopy of benzo[g,h,i]perylene (BghiP) via resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI). Our analysis concentrates on the vibrational modes of both the first electronically excited state and the ground cationic state. Extensive vibronic coupling due to a nearby electronically excited state manifests through strong Franck-Condon (FC) forbidden bands, which are stronger than even the FC allowed bands in the REMPI spectrum. Theoretical calculations using Gaussian are problematic in identifying the electronic configurations of the excited electronic states and predicting the transition energies. However, by setting the keyword for the second excited electronic state, both density functional theory and configuration interaction methods can reproduce the observed spectrum qualitatively. The general agreement significantly helps with the vibrational assignment. The ZEKE spectra demonstrate propensity in preserving the vibrational excitation of the intermediate electronic state. In addition, almost all ZEKE spectra exhibit a similar vibrational distribution, and the distribution can be reproduced by an FC calculation from the vibronic origin of the first excited electronic state to the cationic state using Gaussian 09. These results suggest a remarkable structural stability of BghiP in accommodating the additional charge. All observed vibrational bands of the cation are IR active, establishing the role of ZEKE spectroscopy in mapping out far-infrared bands for astrophysical applications.
