The photoionization of O2 produces O2+. Would you expect higher intensity for 0-0 or 0-2 transitions?

Solutions

Expert Solution

The bands 0-1, 0-2,...etc represent the electrons that travel higher in energy than the purely electronic transition (0-0). This introduces the possibility of vibrational information within the electronic spectrum. In fact, due to the Frank Condon overlap of the ground state and excited state, the 0-2 transition is the most probable of all of the transitions as 0-2 has the greatest absorbance.

If the potential energy wells of the ground and excited states were perfectly eclipsed on top of one another, then the 0-0 transition would be the most probable transition with the highest intensity band. This however, as we have seen, is not often the case.

In deed the equilibrium bond length tends to increase as the energy of the state increases usually due to antibonding nature of the state increasing the intramolecular bond length. This causes increased Frank Condon overlap for some transitions and decreased for others.
