Theoretical Electronic and Rovibrational Studies for Anions of Interest to the DIBs
Ryan C. Fortenberry
The dipole-bound excited state of the methylene nitrile anion (CH2CN-) has been suggested as a candidate carrier for a diffuse interstellar band (DIB) at 803.8 nm. Its correspondin…
Singlet Excited States of Anions with Higher Main Group Elements
Ryan C. Fortenberry
Previous studies have shown that dipole-bound excited states exist for certain small anions. However, valence excited states have been reported for some closed-shell anions, but th…
High-Accuracy Quartic Force Field Calculations for the Spectroscopic Constants and Vibrational Frequencies of 1 ^1A' l-C3H-: A Possible Link to Lines Observed in the Horsehead Nebula PDR
Ryan C. Fortenberry, Xinchuan Huang, T. Daniel Crawford +1
It has been shown that rotational lines observed in the Horsehead nebula PDR are probably not caused by l-C3H+, as was originally suggested. In the search for viable alternative ca…
The Possible Interstellar Anion CH2CN-: Spectroscopic Constants, Vibrational Frequencies, and Other Considerations
Ryan C. Fortenberry, T. Daniel Crawford, Timothy J. Lee
It is hypothesized that the A ^1B_1 <- X ^1A' excitation into the dipole-bound state of the cyanomethyl anion (CH2CN-) is proposed as the carrier for one diffuse interstellar band.…
Spectroscopic Constants and Vibrational Frequencies for l-C3H+ and Isotopologues from Highly-Accurate Quartic Force Fields: The Detection of l-C3H+ in the Horsehead Nebula PDR Questioned
Xinchuan Huang, Ryan C. Fortenberry, Timothy J. Lee
Very recently, molecular rotational transitions observed in the photon-dominated region of the Horsehead nebula have been attributed to l-C3H+. In an effort to corroborate this fin…
