Abstract :
The high-resolution HeI (58.4 nm) photoelectron spectrum of dichlorine monoxide, Cl2O, has been recorded in the region of the four lowest-energy ionic electronic states. Formation of the ion in its ground and excited electronic states is accompanied in each case by vibrational excitation. In particular, the vibrational structure of the first and second excited states of Cl2O+ is resolved. Analysis of the vibrational progressions associated with formation of the various ionic states has been completed, allowing confirmation of the symmetry and bonding characteristics of the four highest-energy occupied molecular orbitals of Cl2O.
