Abstract
![]()
We
report the first gas-phase vibrational spectra of the hydrocarbon
ions C3H+ and C3H2+. The ions were produced by electron impact ionization of
allene. Vibrational spectra of the mass-selected ions tagged with
Ne were recorded using infrared predissociation spectroscopy in a
cryogenic ion trap instrument using the intense and widely tunable
radiation of a free electron laser. Comparison of high-level quantum
chemical calculations and resonant depletion measurements revealed
that the C3H+ ion is exclusively formed in its
most stable linear isomeric form, whereas two isomers were observed
for C3H2+. Bands of the energetically
favored cyclic c-C3H2+ are in excellent
agreement with calculated anharmonic frequencies, whereas for the
linear open-shell HCCCH+ (2Πg) a detailed theoretical description of the spectrum remains challenging
because of Renner–Teller and spin–orbit interactions.
Good agreement between theory and experiment, however, is observed
for the frequencies of the stretching modes for which an anharmonic
treatment was possible. In the case of linear l-C3H+, small but non-negligible effects of the attached Ne on the
ion fundamental band positions and the overall spectrum were found.

Abstract
Theoretical spectroscopic parameters are derived for all isotopologues of HCO+ and HOC+ involving H, D, 16O, 17O, 18O, 12C, and 13C by means of a two-step procedure. Full-dimensional rovibrational calculations are first carried out to obtain numerically exact rovibrational energies for J = 0-15 in both parities. Effective spectroscopic constants for the vibrational ground state, ν1, ν2, and ν3 are determined by fitting the calculated rovibrational energies to appropriate spectroscopic Hamiltonians. Combining our vibration-rotation corrections with the available experimental ground-state rotational constants, we also derive the new estimate for the equilibrium structure of HCO+, re(CH) = 1.091 98 Å and re(CO) = 1.105 62 Å, and for the equilibrium structure of HOC+, re(HO) = 0.990 48 Å and re(CO) = 1.154 47 Å. Regarding the spectroscopic parameters, our estimates are in excellent agreement with available experimental results for the isotopic variants of both HCO+ and HOC+: the agreement for the rotational constants Bv is within 3 MHz, for the quartic centrifugal distortion constants Dv within 1 kHz, and for the effective ℓ-doubling constants qv within 2 MHz. We thus expect that our results can provide useful assistance in analyzing expected observations of the rare isotopologues of HCO+ and HOC+ that are not yet experimentally known.
