Infrared diode laser kinetic spectroscopy of the CCO radical in the X̃ 3Σ− state generated by the excimer laser photolysis of carbon suboxide

Abstract
The ν1 band of the CCO radical in the X̃ 3Σ ground electronic state has been observed in the gas phase by diode laser kinetic spectroscopy. The CCO radical was generated by the 193 or 248 nm excimer laser photolysis of carbon suboxide. By fixing ground state parameters to the microwave values, the band origin and the vibrational changes of the rotational (αB=B0B1) and spin–spin interaction (αλ1−λ0) constants have been determined to be 1970.864 34(95), 0.003 075 4(85), and 0.008 3(12) in cm1 with 2.5 standard errors in parentheses.
