<p> Three electronic absorption systems of the fluorosulfate
radical in the gas phase have been observed in the near
infrared and visible regions of the spectra and have been
assigned to the electronic transitions 2E(2) - 2A2,
2E(l)- 2A2 and 2A1- 2A2 . Molecular orbital calculations on the
fluorosulfate radical have been done in order to aid the
interpretation of the electronic spectra of the radical.
Vibrational and rotational analyses of the visible absorption
system ( 2E (2)- 2A 2) have been carried out. The geometry of
the radical in the upper 2 E(2) state has been found to be
similar to that of the 2A2 ground state. The ground state
fundamental frequencies of the radical have been determined.
The presence of a Jahn-Teller-spin-orbit interaction has been
proposed for the 2E(2) state. </p> / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
