We report on rotationally resolved laser induced fluorescence (LIF) and vibrationally resolved resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectroscopy of the chiral molecule 1-indanol. Spectra of the S← S electronic transition are recorded in a jet-cooled, pulsed molecular beam. Using two time-delayed pulsed lasers, the lifetimes of the S state of the two most stable conformers, referred to as eq1 and ax2, have been determined. The S← S origin bands of these conformers as well as the transition to a vibrationally excited level in the S state of eq1 are recorded with full rotational resolution (25 MHz observed linewidth) by measuring the LIF intensity following excitation with a tuneable, narrowband cw laser. On selected rotationally resolved electronic transitions, Lamb-dips are measured to confirm the Lorentzian lifetime-contribution to the observed lineshapes. The rotationally resolved S← S origin band of a neon-complex of eq1 is measured via LIF as well. The fit of the rotationally resolved LIF spectra of the origin bands to those of an asymmetric rotor yields a standard deviation of about 6 MHz. The resulting spectroscopic parameters are tabulated and compared to the outcome of ab initio calculations. For both conformers as well as for the Ne-eq1 complex, the geometric structures in the S and S states are discussed. For all systems, the transition dipole moment is mainly along the a-axis, the contributions along the b- and c-axes being about one order of magnitude smaller.

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.
