Abstract
The ethynyl radial, C2H, has a complex spectral structure due to vibronic coupling between the ground X˜ 2Σ + and lowlying A˜ 2Π electronic states, and a Renner-Teller interaction within the Π state.
A good understanding of the low-lying rovibrational structure has come from measurements, including slow electron velocity-map imaging of anion photoelectron spectraa , and ab initio calculationsb , that give wavefunction character.
In this work, high-resolution photoelectron velocity-map imaging of C2H − and C2D − photodetachment (the 355 nm wavelength illustrated), provide a quantitative comparison over an extended energy range, to reveal unassigned structure, anomalous intensities, and illustrate the dramatic difference between isotopologues in the region of the A-state. These measurements, together with the measured photoelectron angular distributions, provide new insight into the non-adiabatic couplings of ethyny.
