Mass-Resolved Multiphoton Ionization Spectra of Xekr in the Region of Xe-Asterisk (6P,5D)
Single isotopomer (2+1) resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectra of jet-cooled XeKr have been recorded using time-of-flight (TOF) mass detection. Vibrational analyses for several transitions involving excited states that dissociate to Kr(S-1(0))+Xe* (6p,5d) between 77 560 and 80150 cm(-1) are reported for the first time. Equilibrium bond lengths were established by Franck-Condon calculations, while excited state symmetries were inferred from excitation spectra recorded using circularly polarized light. A local vibrational perturbation evident in the dominant band system dissociating to Kr(S-1(0))+Xe*5p(5)6p[5/2](2) has also been analyzed. The identity of the perturbing state is proposed, based in part, on predissociation spectra obtained by monitoring atomic fragments in TOF detection.
