Abstract

The laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and wavelength-resolved emission spectroscopic techniques have been used to study the rotational levels, the vibrational predissociation (VP) products and the product-state branching ratios of the \~{A} state of the C$_{3}$Ar van der Waals complex. The excited states were prepared by exciting the complex bands associated with 0 8$^{-}$ 0-000, 0 4$^{+}$ 0-000 and 0 0 2-000 bands of the \~{A} $^1$$\Pi$$_{u}$ - \~{X} $^1$$\Sigma$$_{g}$ system of C$_{3}$. The superscripts "-" and "+" denote the lower and upper Renner components, respectively. The type A and C bands of the complex bands are in pairs and they are separated by 2\nub{b} (b, van der Waals bending vibration).\footnote{A.J. Merer, Y.-C. Hsu, Y.-R. Chen, and Y.-J. Wang, J. Chem. Phys. 143, 194304(2015).} Of 11 bands, only two, associated with the 002-000 band of C$_{3}$, are rotationally resolved with a laser of 0.04 \wn resolution. The lifetimes of these complex bands are in the order of a few to a few tens of picoseconds estimated from the rotational linewidths of the LIF spectra. The VP processes are quite complex; more than one vibrational state of the C$_{3}$ fragments was identified from each upper complex level. The fragment states were the pure bending levels (0 v$_{2}$ 0) and the combination levels (1 v$_{2}$ 0) of the \~{A} state.
