要旨

Absolute photoabsorption cross sections of propionic (C2H5COOH), butyric (C3H7COOH), and valeric (C4H9COOH) acids have been measured from the dissociative π* ← nO transition (beginning around 5.0 eV) up to 10.7 eV. This constitutes the first study of the neutral electronic states of propionic and butyric acids at energies above the π* ← nO band, while no previous spectroscopic data is available for valeric acid in the present range. The present assignments are supported by the first theoretical calculations of electronic transition energies and oscillator strengths for these organic acids. In addition, the excitation energies of the vibrational modes of propionic acid in its neutral electronic ground state and the vertical ionisation energies of all three molecules have been calculated for the first time. The He(I) photoelectron spectroscopy of propionic acid has been measured from 10 to 16 eV, revealing new fine structure in the first ionic band.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
