2 Overview Motivation Previous studies Experimental setup – Cavity ringdown – Supersonic jet expansion Phenyl peroxy radical – Experimental results – Theoretical results Summary

3 Phenyl Peroxy Phenyl Peroxy (C 6 H 5 O 2 ) – Combustion (PAH formation) – Atmospheric Formed through reaction with O 2 Stable, or rearranges to 2- oxepinoxy, cyclopentadienyl Tokmakov, I. V.; Kim, G.-S.; Kislov, V. V.; Mebel, A. M.; Lin, M.C. J. Phys. Chem. A 2005, 109, 6114−27.

4 Previous Studies Phenyl Peroxy – Few spectroscopic studies IR spectra in matrix Low res. visible absorption spectrum – transition first observed by Lin et al. – transition reported by Miller et al. Coupled with electronic structure calculations B 2 A’’ ← X 2 A’’ ~~ A 2 A’ ← X 2 A’’ ~~ Yu, T.; Lin, M.C. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1994, 116, 9571-6.

18 Summary Detection of discharge generated phenyl peroxy radicals by CRDS in a jet expansion Determined excited state lifetimes to be 2.1 ps Vibronic spectrum simulated using TDDFT calculations matches well with experimental data Accounts for lack of structure at room temperature. Examine higher energy bands Future work on this project will focus on other PAH species and photolysis
