Resonant two-photon threshold ionization spectroscopy is employed to determine the ionizationenergy of C2 to 5 meV precision, about two orders of magnitude more precise than the previously accepted value. Through exploration of the ionization threshold after pumping the 0-3 band of the newly discovered 4³Πg←a³Πu band system of C2, the ionizationenergy of the lowest rovibronic level of the a³Πu state was determined to be 11.791(5) eV. Accounting for spin-orbit and rotational effects, we calculate that the ionizationenergy of the forbidden origin of the a³Πu state is 11.790(5) eV, in excellent agreement with quantum thermochemical calculations which give 11.788(10) eV. The experimentally derived ionizationenergy of X¹Σg+X¹Σg+ state C2 is 11.866(5) eV. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
