Laser-induced fluorescence of the C2H5O radical

Abstract

Laser‐excitation and laser‐induced fluorescence spectra of the C₂H₅O radical are reported. The 0–0 band of the ?–? transition lies at 29 204 cm⁻¹ (342.4 nm). The spectra are characterized by a prominent progression involving the C–O stretching mode, as in the case of the CH₃O radical. The fundamental C–O stretching frequencies in the ground and excited states are 1067 and 596 cm⁻¹, respectively.
