Abstract
Vibrational spectroscopy of jet-cooled 9-fluorenemethanol and its clusters 9-fluorenemethanol-H2O, 9-fluorenemethanol-CH3OH, 9-fluorenemethanol-C2H5OH, and 9-fluorenemethanol-C3H7OH has been carried out using an IR-UV double-resonance method. The spectrum of the OH stretching vibration, v(OH), has been measured for the 9-fluorenemethanol monomer and for each of the clusters. Two conformers of 9-fluorenemethanol, symmetric (sym) and unsymmetric (unsym), have been identified using a combination of spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations with B3LYP and HF methods using the 6-31G(d) basis set. Vibrational dynamics resulting from IR excitation has also been studied using the S0-S1 transition probed by a nanosecond-time-delayed UV laser. The data suggest that isomerization occurs as a result of the IR excitation, but the breadth of the probe spectra makes an unequivocal conclusion difficult. The effect of hydrogen bonding on the v(OH) of 9-fluorenemethanol has also been studied in clusters with water, methanol, ethanol, and propanol by measuring the IR spectra. Cluster dissociation dynamics have also been studied following IR excitation. It is observed that upon excitation of the cluster of a particular conformation the monomer product is generally produced in both conformer forms. Energetic considerations indicate that isomerization occurs before dissociation.(c) 2004 American Institute of Physics
