Valence shell absolute photoabsorption oscillator strengths, constrained dipole oscillator strength distributions, and dipole properties for CH3NH2, (CH3)2NH, and (CH3)3N

Dipole (e,e) spectroscopy has been used to measure the absolute photoabsorption oscillator strengths (cross sections) for the valence shells of CH3NH2, (CH3)2NH, and (CH3)3N from the photoabsorption threshold to 250 eV at low resolution (∼1 eV fwhm) and to 31 eV at high resolution (0.048 eV fwhm). The observed peaks in the photoabsorption spectra of the methylamines have been assigned to transitions to Rydberg orbital upper states. Our measured photoabsorption data, augmented by mixture rule estimates for high photon energies, have been used in conjunction with Thomas–Reiche–Kuhn sum rule and molar refractivity constraints, to construct constrained dipole oscillator strength distributions for each of the methylamines. From these constrained dipole oscillator strength distributions a wide range of related dipole properties have been calculated for each of the methylamines, and in most cases the results so obtained represent the first (reliable) determination of these properties.

Dipole oscillator strength distributions (DOSDs) have been constructed for ground state ethylene, propene, and 1-butene. Each DOSD is constructed by using available experimental and theoretical photoabsorption cross sections and by constraining the resulting dipole oscillator strength data to satisfy the Thomas – Reiche–Kuhn sum rule and molar refractivity constraints. The latter were obtained from experimental refractive index measurements of relevant dilute gases. The recommended DOSDs, and the values of integrated "band" oscillator strengths, and the dipole oscillator strength sums Sk and Lk (for a variety of k values) obtained from them, are reported. The discussion includes an analysis of the reliability of the results using 1-butene as a detailed model.

Each distribution has been constructed by using experimental and theoretical photoabsorption cross sections and by subjecting the resulting dipole oscillator strength data to constraints provided by the Thomas–Reiche–Kuhn sum rule and molar refractivity or related data for the relevant dilute gases. The resulting dipole properties are generally the most or only reliable values available for the hydrogen halides, for the rare gases they largely augment reliable results for most of the properties already available in the literature. The results for HCl are used to discuss an interesting molecular effect in the photoabsorption spectrum of this molecule betwen ~200 eV and ~205 eV.

Newly available and highly accurate oscillator strength data, extending over the continuous energy range from the first excitation threshold to 200 eV, are used together with mixture rule estimates and other photoabsorption data to construct a refined dipole oscillator strength distribution to infinite photon energy using Thomas–Reiche–Kuhn sum rule and molar refractivity constraints. This constrained dipole oscillator strength distribution has been used to calculate a wide range of related dipole properties (Sk, k = 2, 1, 0, −1/2, −1, −3/2, −2, −5/2, −3, −4, −5, −6, −8, −10, −12; Lk and Ik, k = 2, 1, 0, −1, −2). The theoretical analysis and associated consistency checks support the high accuracy of the newly available absolute oscillator strengths for the photoabsorption of NH3.

AbstractA brief review is given of how a constrained dipole oscillator strength distribution (DOSD) is constructed from experimental and possibly theoretical photoabsorption cross-sections with constraints provided by molar refractivity data and the Kuhn–Reiche–Thomas sum rule. Some recent refinements including the imposition of the correct high-energy behavior on the DOSD for homoatomic molecules are discussed and extended to the general molecular case. A sample application to pyridine is given.

Strength Distributions

Recommended isotropic dipole oscillator strength distributions (DOSDs) have been constructed for the methanol and ethanol molecules through the use of quantum mechanical constraint techniques and experimental dipole oscillator strength (DOS) data; the DOS data employed are recent experimental results not available at the time of the original constrained DOSD analysis of these molecules. The constraints are furnished by molar refractivity data and the Thomas-Reiche-Kuhn sum rule. The DOSDs are used to evaluate a variety of isotropic dipole oscillator strength sums, logarithmic dipole oscillator strength sums, and mean excitation energies for the molecules. Pseudo-DOSDs for these molecules, and for propan-1-ol based on an earlier constrained DOSD analysis for this molecule, are also presented. They are used to obtain reliable results for the isotropic dipole-dipole dispersion energy coefficients C6, for the interactions of the alcohols with each other and with 36 other species, and the triple-dipole dispersion energy coefficients C9for interactions involving any triple of molecules involving methanol, ethanol and propan-1-ol.
