The infrared spectrum of pyrazine in its metastable triplet state. A free-electron-laser study
Abstract
Vibrational transitions of pyrazine in the lowest triplet state have been observed as transient changes in the intensity of the phosphorescence induced by the free-electron laser FELIX. All seven fundamental infrared-active modes in the range of 250 to 1600 cm(-1) have been detected and all vibrational frequencies are found to be considerably lower than the corresponding ones in the ground state.
