Rapid probe of the nicotine spectra by high-resolution rotational spectroscopy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nicotine has been investigated in the gas phase and two conformational forms were characterized through their rotational spectra. Two spectroscopic techniques have been used to obtain the spectra: a new design of broadband Fourier transform microwave (FTMW) spectroscopy with an in-phase/quadrature-phase-modulation passage-acquired-coherence technique (IMPACT) and narrowband FTMW spectroscopy with coaxially oriented beam-resonator arrangement (COBRA). The rotational, centrifugal distortion and hyperfine quadrupole coupling constants of two conformers of nicotine have been determined and found to be in N-methyl trans configurations with the pyridine and pyrrolidine rings perpendicular to one another. The quadrupole hyperfine structure originated by two (14)N nuclei has been completely resolved for both conformers and used for their unambiguous identification.

The cooling of molecules during the adiabatic expansion of supersonic seeded molecular beams is reviewed and illustrated by the example of NO -molecules. The reduction of the Doppler width by collimation of the beam and the cooling to low rotational temperatures brings a significant simplification of the complex NO -absorption spectrum and allows its assignment. The measured rotational tem...

Sub-Doppler excitation spectroscopy in a collimated cold supersonic beam of 5% NO seeded in argon has been performed with a spectral resolution down to 10 MHz for four vibronic bands within the perturbed B ?X A system of NO . The rotational temperature of about 15 K achieved by adiabatic cooling allows the separation of closely lying vibronic bands which overlap in absorption spectra ...

Time-resolved pure-rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy using picosecond-duration laser pulses is investigated for gas thermometry. The use of picosecond laser pulses significantly reduces background caused by scattering of the probe beam, and delayed probing of the Raman coherence enables elimination of interference from nonresonant four-wave mixing processes. Temperatures inferr...
متن کاملHigh-contrast pump-probe spectroscopy with high-order harmonics
The high order harmonic generation process from molecules can be used to probe the structure of the emitting medium with high spatial resolution [1,2]. The measurements of molecular dynamics with such a probe is thus very appealing. Contrast is an important issue in pump probe spectroscopy: in general the probe only excites part of the molecules, so that the detected signal can be dominated by ...
