摘要:

用密度泛函理论计算了六种分子式为(C_(84)H_(24)-C_(120)H_(36))的大分子不规则多环芳烃的中红外光谱。的优势频带的位置和强度的趋势进行比较,那些大的,紧凑的多环芳烃的几何形状,尺寸和电荷的函数。不规则的边缘部分,是常见的陆地多环芳烃,如海湾地区和环与四重氢,被证明是罕见的天文多环芳烃。至于所有的多环芳烃只包括C和H的报告日期,中红外发射不规则的多环芳烃未能产生一个强大的CCstr带在6.2微米,位置特征的重要,A类天文多环芳烃光谱。早期的研究表明,在PAH中包含氮使PAH阳离子的浓度变为6.2 μ m。在这里,我们表明,这条带转移到6.3微米的含氮PAH阴离子,接近的位置CC拉伸B类天文PAH光谱。因此,含氮多环芳烃可能是重要的,在所有的来源和CC拉伸6.2微米附近的峰位置似乎直接反映了PAH阳离子阴离子比。大的不规则多环芳烃在7.8微米处表现出特征,但在8.6微米附近缺乏特征。因此,7.7 μ m的天文特征是由小型和大型多环芳烃的混合物产生的,而8.6 μ m的波段只能由大型紧凑的多环芳烃产生。与CCstr一样,这些条带的位置和轮廓反映了PAH阳离子与阴离子的比例。

英文摘要:

The mid-IR spectra of six large, irregular PAHs with formulae (C84H24 - C120H36) have been computed using Density Functional Theory (DFT). Trends in the dominant band positions and intensities are compared to those of large, compact PAHs as a function of geometry, size and charge. Irregular edge moieties that are common in terrestrial PAHs, such as bay regions and rings with quartet hydrogens, are shown to be uncommon in astronomical PAHs. As for all PAHs comprised solely of C and H reported to date, mid-IR emission from irregular PAHs fails to produce a strong CCstr band at 6.2 um, the position characteristic of the important, class A astronomical PAH spectra. Earlier studies showed inclusion of nitrogen within a PAH shifts this to 6.2 um for PAH cations. Here we show this band shifts to 6.3 um in nitrogenated PAH anions, close to the position of the CC stretch in class B astronomical PAH spectra. Thus nitrogenated PAHs may be important in all sources and the peak position of the CC stretch near 6.2 um appears to directly reflect the PAH cation to anion ratio. Large irregular PAHs exhibit features at 7.8 um but lack them near 8.6 um. Hence, the 7.7 um astronomical feature is produced by a mixture of small and large PAHs while the 8.6 um band can only be produced by large compact PAHs. As with the CCstr, the position and profile of these bands reflect the PAH cation to anion ratio.
