| Abstract | The 4H-pyran-4-one (4PN) molecule isa cyclicconjugated enone with spectroscopically accessible singlet and triplet(n,π*)excited states. Vibronic spectra of 4PN provide a stringenttest of electronic-structure calculations, through comparison of predictedvs measured vibrational frequencies in the excited state. We reporthere the T1(n,π*) ← S0 phosphorescenceexcitation spectrum of 4PN, recorded under the cooling conditionsof a supersonic free-jet expansion. The jet cooling has eliminatedcongestion appearing in previous room-temperature measurements ofthe T1 ← S0 band system and has enabledus to determine precise fundamental frequencies for seven vibrationalmodes of the molecule in its T1(n,π*) state. We havealso analyzed the rotational contour of the 000 band, obtaining experimentalvalues for spin–spin and spin-rotation constants of the T1(n,π*) state. We used the experimental results to testpredictions from two commonly used computational methods, equation-of-motionexcitation energies with dynamical correlation incorporated at thelevel of coupled cluster singles doubles (EOM-EE-CCSD) and time-dependentdensity functional theory (TDDFT). We find that each method predictsharmonic frequencies within a few percent of observed fundamentals,for in-plane vibrational modes. However, for out-of-plane modes, eachmethod has specific liabilities that result in frequency errors onthe order of 20–30%. The calculations have helped to identifya perturbation from the T2(π,π*) state thatleads to unexpected features observed in the T1(n,π*)← S0 origin band rotational contour. |
