Rotationally resolved electronic spectra of the vibrationless origin and of eight vibronic bands of 5-methoxyindole (5MOI) have been measured and analyzed using an evolutionary strategy approach. The experimental results are compared to the results of ab initio calculations. All vibronic bands can be explained by absorption of a single conformer, which unambiguously has been shown to be the anti-conformer from its rotational constants and excitation energy. For both anti- and syn-conformers, a (1)L(a)/(1)L(b) gap larger than 4000 cm(-1) is calculated, making the vibronic coupling between both states very small, thereby explaining why the spectrum of 5MOI is very different from that of the parent molecule, indole.

A detailed analysis of the low collision energy (0.03-10 meV) integral reaction cross-section has been carried out for the F + HD ( = 0, 1; = 1)→ HF(DF) + D(H) reaction using accurate, fully converged time-independent hyperspherical quantum dynamics. Particular attention has been paid to the shape (orbiting) resonances and their assignment to the orbital () and total () angular momenta as well as to the product's state resolved cross-sections at the energies of the resonances.

This study investigates the translational and rovibrational energy of vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) photodesorbed CO molecules from a CO polycrystalline ice (15 K) at ∼8 eV. The electronic excitation was produced by a pulsed VUV laser, and the photodesorption of CO molecules in their ground and first vibrational states was observed using resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization. Time-of-flight and rotationally resolved spectra were measured, and the kinetic and internal energy distribution were obtained.

The photodissociation of molecules is becoming an increasingly important factor to consider in the evolution of exoplanets' atmospheres orbiting around UV-rich stars, as it leads to the enrichment of atmospheric complexity. A new method is developed for computing the rotationally and vibrationally resolved photodissociation spectrum of triatomic molecules. The time-independent Schrödinger equation is solved using the variational nuclear motion program EVEREST; a new code EXOCSMOOTH is employed to compute the cross-sections by applying Gaussian smoothing to a set of discrete transitions into the continuum.
