要旨

We have measured the resonant 2-photon ionization spectrum of jet-cooled p-acetaminophenol (paracetamol) between 33 400 cm−1 and 45 500 cm−1, and analysed the results in the light of theoretical calculations of the ground-state geometry and vibrational frequencies. The experimental spectrum consists of a large number of clearly resolved vibronic transitions, and some evidence of rotational structure. It is dominated by a repeated progression with a regular spacing of 33 cm−1 (believed to be the methyl-torsion mode) in combination with normal modes of vibration which involve the stretching of the C–C bonds in the phenyl ring and bending of the C–N–C bond in the amide group. The intensity pattern of the progressions in the methyl torsion is consistent with structural changes between the minimum-energy geometries in the ground and excited states.

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.
