A recent IR/UV double resonance study identified 1-phenylethynyl-naphthalene (1-PEN) as the major dimerization product of phenylpropargyl radicals. Considering the importance of C3 hydrocarbons in the initial phase of the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in combustion processes, both the phenylpropargyl radical as C9 unit and its stable dimer 1-PEN could also play a conceivable role in PAH growth [1].
We investigated the S1 excited state of 1-PEN by means of [1+1]-REMPI spectroscopy. A rich structure of low wavenumber bands was observed, which could be assigned to the torsional motion. Vibrational frequencies of 6 cm-1 and 17 cm-1 respectively were derived for the torsional mode in the ground and excited state. Spectra of the 1-PEN/Ar cluster exhibit a red shift of the origin of 22 cm-1, comparable to argon clusters of other aromatic molecules.
