NI in argon and in argon/10% N2 matrices has been excited into b 1Σ+, v’=0–4 with a pulsed tunable dye laser. The regular line structure in the fluorescence excitation and emission spectra in pure argon matrices is attributed to a local phonon progression of 15 cm-1, both in the X 3Σ- and b 1Σ+ states. ‘‘Hot’’ local phonon lines, which originate in the thermally populated levels n’=1 and 2 of the local phonon mode at elevated temperatures, have been identified. The matrix lifetime of the vibrationally relaxed b state, which does not relax via the a state in pure argon, extrapolates to a radiative lifetime of 15 μs in vacuo, in satisfactory agreement with a recent gas phase determination. The a state of NI, which emits at 1185 and 1173 nm, could be populated via the b state only in mixed matrices of argon and N2. The lifetime in these matrices is 20.5±2 ms, which extrapolates to a gas phase radiative lifetime of approximately 38 ms. The b state of NI is completely quenched in pure nitrogen matrices, but emission from the a state is still detected with a lifetime of 4.6±0.5 ms. On the basis of these results recently reported a-state lifetimes of NCl and NBr in the ms to sub-ms range appear unreasonably low. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
