Abstract

260-300 nm pulsed "photodissociation" of perfluoroalkyl iodide guests in rare gas and N2 lattices produces an unstructured structured 850-1050 nm emission. The excitation spectrum is continuous, and the emission maximum and lifetime vary from host to host. It is proposed that this emission occurs from a vibrationally relaxed, stationary "bound" electronic state in which the perfluoroalkyl radical and the I*(2P 1 2) atom are held together by constrictive cage forces.
