Abstract
The alkeline earth monocarboxylates and monoformamide were synthesised by the reaction of alkaline earth metal vapor with the corresponding carboxylic acids and formamide,respectively, in a Broida type oven. The laser excitation spectra and the resolved fluorescence spectra recorded at low resolution indicate that the carboxylate and formamide anions behave as bidentate ligands when bonding on to the metal ion. Therefore these metal containing free radicals can be represented by the structures $M+-C-R$ and $M+C-R$ (M = Ca, Sr and $R = H, CH_{3}$). The electronic and vibrational information extracted from the spectra will be presented and discussed.
