Excited state of protonated benzene and toluene
Résumé
We present photo-fragmentation electronic spectra of the simplest protonated aromatic molecules, protonated benzene and toluene, recorded under medium resolution conditions and compared with the photo-fragmentation spectrum of protonated pyridine. Despite the resolution and cold temperature achieved in the experiment, the electronic spectra of protonated benzene and toluene are structure-less, thus intrinsically broadened. This is in agreement with the large geometrical changes and the fast dynamic toward internal conversion predicted by ab-initio calculations for protonated benzene (M. F. Rode, A. L. Sobolewski, C. Dedonder, C. Jouvet, and O. Dopfer, J. Phys. Chem. A 113, 5865–5873 (2009).
