Abstract:
We reported the vibronic and cation spectra of 3,4-difluoroanisole. The band origins of the S(1) ←S(0) electronic transition of the cis and trans rotamers appear at 35,505 ± 2 and 35,711 ± 2 cm(-1) and the adiabatic ionization energies are determined to be 67,780 ± 5 and 68,125 ± 5cm(-1), respectively. Most of the observed active vibrations in the electronically excited S(1) and cationic ground D(0) states mainly involve in-plane ring deformation and substituent-sensitive bending vibrations. Analysis of the obtained vibronic and cation spectra suggests that the molecular geometry, symmetry, and vibrational coordinates of the cation in the D(0) state are like those of the neutral species in the S(1) state for these two isomeric species.

However, the stretching absorptions for the C=O bond vary depending on the structure of carboxylic acids. The C=O bond of the free carboxylic acids shows a higher stretching frequency, 1760 cm−1, while H-bonded carboxylic acids (dimers) exhibit stretching absorptions at a lower frequency, 1710 cm−1. The C=O bond of the...
