Article Synopsis
  • Linear tricarbon selenide (CSe) is being analyzed for the first time through advanced high-resolution infrared and microwave spectroscopy techniques.
  • Initial detection of the molecule occurred in the infrared range at about 5 μm and included observations of various isotopologues of CSe.
  • The study also involved using quantum-chemical calculations to derive accurate bond lengths and rotational constants for the isotopologues based on experimental data.

We have developed an instrument to measure trace concentrations of small hydride species in gases using continuous-wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy with near-infrared diode laser excitation. An rms baseline equivalent absorbance of 9.2 x 10(-11) cm(-1)/square root(n) is found, where n is the number of ring-down transients.
