Abstract
It is well known that rate constants of certain reactions of alkoxy radicals, e.g., unimolecular dissociation (decomposition by C-C bond fission) and isomerization via 1,5 H-shift, are highly sensitive to the molecular structure. In the present and the next talks, we report dispersed fluorescence (DF) spectra of various alkoxy radicals obtained under supersonic jet-cooled conditions by pumping different vibronic bands of their $tilde B leftarrow tilde X$ laser induced fluorescence (LIF) excitation spectra.footnote{Wu, Q.; Liang, G.; Zu, L.; Fang, W. emph{J.

In all cases, strong CO-stretch progressions were observed, as well as transitions to other vibrational levels, including low-frequency ones. Quantum chemical calculations were carried out to aid the assignment of the DF spectra. Franck-Condon factors were calculated using the ezSpectrum program.footnote{V. Mozhayskiy and A. I.
