REMPI SPECTROSCOPY OF THE 3ppi 2Pi RYDBERG STATE OF HCO.

HARTMUT G. HEDDERICH, ERIC E. MAYER AND EDWARD R. GRANT, Department of Chemistry, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907-1393.

The (010), (020), (030), and (001) bands of the 3ppi 2Pi Rydberg state of the formyl radical have been observed by resonant (1+1) photon ionization spectroscopy from the 2A^' vibronic ground state. Subbands have been re-assigned considering the D\infty h symmetry of HCO in the 3ppi-state. Renner-Teller effect and Fermi resonances have been analyzed for different subbands.
