Abstract

The jet-cooled LIF spectrum of the CF3OA~X¯ electronic transition has been observed. Rotational analysis of the high resolution spectrum of the origin band suggests that CF3O has nominal C3v symmetry in both its ground and first excited state. Vibrational analysis of the dispersed fluorescence spectrum indicates that the Jahn-Teller effect is considerably stronger in CF3O compared to CH3O. The details of analysis will be presented.
