Infrared spectra of protonated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules: azulene.
The infrared (IR) spectrum of protonated azulene (AzuH(+), C(10)H(9)(+)) has been measured in the fingerprint range (600-1800 cm(-1)) by means of IR multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy in a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization source using a free electron laser. The potential energy surface of AzuH(+) has been charact...
متن کاملPolycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Far-infrared Spectroscopy
The far-IR characteristics of astrophysically relevant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) averaging in size around 100 carbon atoms have been studied using the theoretical spectra in the NASA Ames PAH IR Spectroscopic Database. These spectra were calculated using density functional theory. Selections of PAH species are made, grouped together by common characteristics or trends, such as siz...
متن کاملClosed-shell polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon cations: a new category of interstellar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Density functional theory has been employed to calculate the harmonic frequencies and intensities of a range of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) cations that explore both size and electronic structure effects on the infrared spectroscopic properties of these species. The sample extends the size range of PAH species considered to more than 50 carbon atoms and includes several representative...
متن کاملThe Impact of Deuteration on the Infrared Spectra of Interstellar Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
In this paper, we present the results of a computational study of the effects of a low absolute level of deuteration ( 5%) on the observed mid-IR spectrum of the interstellar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) population. The analyses are based on a global average spectrum, including all the possible singly deuterated isomers of an ensemble of partially superhydrogenated PAH species (i.e., H...
متن کاملThe Mid-infrared Spectrum of Star-forming Galaxies: Global Properties of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Emission
We present a sample of low-resolution 5Y38 m Spitzer IRS spectra of the inner few square kiloparsecs of 59 nearby galaxies spanning a large range of star formation properties. A robust method for decomposing mid-infrared galaxy spectra is described and used to explore the behavior of PAH emission and the prevalence of silicate dust extinction. Evidence for silicate extinction is found in 1 8 of...
