Abstract
A visible spectrum of the cluster Ca_2Cl_3 was observed from 651 to 630 nm by 1 + 1[prime] resonant multiphoton ionization spectroscopy. Spectra were obtained for each of the four isotopomers: Ca2 35Cl3, Ca2 35Cl2 37Cl, Ca2 35Cl 37Cl2, and Ca2 37Cl3. The spectra were composed of a strong origin band at 15 350.8 cm^(–1) and several very weak vibronic bands. All of the bands were sharp with partially resolved rotational band contours. Density functional calculations predicted three minimum energy isomers. The spectrum was assigned to the 2B2<--X-tilde 2A1 transition of the lowest energy isomer, a planar C2v structure having a ring of two Cl and two Ca atoms and a terminal Cl atom. The ring isomer of Ca_2Cl_3 has the unpaired electron localized on one Ca^(2+) ion to form a Ca^+ chromophore. The two other predicted isomers, a D3h trigonal bipyramid and a C2v planar V-shaped structure, were not consistent with the observations.
