Abstract

The emission spectra of "supercooled" fluorobenzene radical cations have been obtained from the electron impact ionization of a free jet expansion of He seeded with the neutral fluorobenzenes. The spectra are considerably simpler and more highly resolved than corresponding spectra taken from an ambient thermal gas. The jet spectra of the isolated ions resemble very closely fluorobenzene cation spectra obtained in a solid Ne matrix. It is shown that the true origin of the electronic transition in C6F6+ is shifted very considerably from the values previously reported based upon ambient temperature spectra.
