โœฆ Synopsis

The electronic and vibrational spectra of tetracene cations, generated by vapor-phase electron bombardment and deposited in an argon matrix, have been recorded. Integrated intensities of the infrared bands of neutral and cationic tetracene compare well with a recent density functional calculation by Langhoff. As observed in previous studies of PAH ions, the intense neutral out-of-plane CH bends decrease drastically in the cation, while the very weak neutral in-plane CC stretches and CH bends gain dramatically upon ionization. The possible contribution of tetracene cations and neutrals to the 'unidentified interstellar infrared' bands is discussed.

Perylene radical cations have been produced via low-energy electron impact of a vapor phase mixture of perylene, argon and carbon tetrachloride. The cations have been trapped and stabilized in an argon matrix at 12 Kin sufficient quantities to observe their infrared (and visible) absorption spectra.
