✦ Synopsis


The jet-cooled fluorescence excitation spectra of the n+rr* transitions of cyclopentanone, 3_cyclopenten-l-one, and cyclobutanone have been analyzed to determine the vibrational energy spacings in the S, (n, rF) electronic excited states for the out-ofplane carbonyl wagging motions. A double-minimum potential energy function was determined for each and the barriers were found to be 680, 926, and 1940 cm-', respectively. The carbonyl wagging angles were determined to be 22", 26", and 41", respectively.
