Abstract
The electronic spectra of three conjugated cis-dienyl systems, 1,3-cyclopentadiene, 1,3-cyclohexadiene, and 1,3-cycloheptadiene have been investigated using electron-impact spectroscopy. Spectra were obtained at impact energies ranging from 20 to 75 eV and scattering angles from 5° to 80°. A single singlet --> triplet transition was observed for each molecule at 3.10, 2.94, and 2.99 eV, respectively. Information on the Franck–Condon envelopes was obtained for these transitions. The N-->V1, N-->V2, and V3, and several Rydberg transitions were also observed in each substance. Some previous unreported superexcited states lying above the first ionization potential were detected.
