‘HOT’ PCCP paper: isolated molecules cooled in a supersonic expansion

The electronic and vibrational properties of diphenyldiacetylene and diphenylvinylacetylene are characterized under jet-cooled conditions.

Laser induced fluorescence (LIF) excitation scans and dispersed fluorescence (DFL) spectra have been recorded for two four-carbon α,ω-diphenyl systems, diphenyldiacetylene (DPDA) and trans-diphenylvinylacetylene (DPVA) as isolated molecules cooled in a supersonic expansion.
