Abstract

Atomic oxygen $(^3 P)$ is generated via thermolysis in a commerical thermal gas cracker (Mantis Ltd. MGC-75). Complexes with HCN were investigated to qualitatively assess the doping efficiency of O$(^3 P)$ into a helium droplet. Theoretical calculations of a linear O$,cdot!cdot!cdot,$HCN $(^3 Sigma)$ complex at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVTZ level are consistent with the rotational constants extracted from the rotational substructure in the experimental spectra, and with dipole moments approximated from Stark spectra. The thermal source will be used to study reactions between O$(^3 P)$ and hydrocarbons in helium droplets, and preliminary data on this topic will be presented.
