Abstract
Laser excitation spectra of several alkoxy radicals including methoxy, ethoxy, vinoxy, and isopropoxy have been recorded at low temperature in a supersonic free jet expansion. These spectra in all cases show well-resolved rotational structure. These structures are used to determine the symmetry of the two electronic states involved in the transitions. The symmetries so determined are rationalized in terms of simple molecular orbital theory.
