Observation of the Ã- X∼ electronic transition of the CF 3O 2 radical
Abstract
The first observation of a sharp, structured electronic spectrum for a fluorinated alkyl peroxy radical is reported using the technique of cavity ringdown spectroscopy (CRDS). The T 00 value for the Ã2A'- X∼2A″ transition of CF 3O 2 has been determined to be 6656(3) cm -1; values for à state vibrational frequencies have also been determined. Initial kinetic observations on CF 3O 2 have been carried out, using CRDS to monitor its concentration.
