✦ Synopsis

Photodissociation spectra of (C,H,):

are measured in the 700-1400 nm range. The charge resonance (CR) bands characteristic of (C,H,): are found to be kept almost intact in (C,H,)$; the spectra show the main band at z 960 nm and relatively weak one at =Z 1220 nm. The photodissociation cross section of (C,H,):

at the 960 nm band is estimated to be comparable with that of the corresponding dimer band at 920 nm. These results suggest that the charge is localized on a dimer subunit, which acts as a chromophoric core for the CR transition in (C,H,): .
