Ehrenfreund Title: Spectroscopy of large PAHs - Laboratory studies and comparison to the Diffuse Interstellar Bands Journal/Source: Astronomy & Astrophysics, 390, 1153-1170, (2002); DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20020478 Data: (diagram, table, disk): diagram, table Wavelength/Energy range: 200 - 320 nm Resolution: 3.5 - 21.0 nm (FWHM) Temperature: 4 K Temperature dependence: Pressure: Comments: The spectrum of neutral triphenylyl shows strong absorption bands in the 200–350 nm range. In the case of the VUV-irradiated sample, both triphenylyl/Ne and triphenylyl/Ne/NO2 experiments exhibit two strong bands near 457.7 and 490.4 nm, respectively, associated with the formation of the cation (C36H22+) in the matrix.
