背景：芳香红外带（AIBs）在多种天体物理环境中被广泛观测到，通常归因于多环芳烃（PAHs）的振动发射。近期在星际空间中探测到1-氰基萘（1-CNN）和2-氰基萘（2-CNN），推动了对氰基取代PAHs的详细红外光谱研究。目的：我们旨在表征冷气相条件下中性1-CNN和2-CNN的红外光谱与振动模式，并评估它们与天文AIBs的光谱相关性。方法：采用离子偶极光谱法在冷分子束中测量中性1-CNN和2-CNN的气相红外光谱；借助B3LYP/N07D水平下的谐和与非谐计算对观测到的谱带进行归属；随后在单光子近似框架内从实验光谱模拟红外发射光谱。结果：我们报告了在与星际介质相关的冷气相条件下测得的中性1-CNN和2-CNN的红外光谱，对其振动特征进行了详细归属，包括基频振动以及泛音和组合带；模拟的发射光谱在多个与显著AIBs相关的波长区域呈现特征，包括3.3微米附近的芳香CH伸缩区、6.2微米附近的CC伸缩区、8.6-8.9微米处的CH面内弯曲与CC伸缩混合区，以及10至15微米之间的CH面外弯曲区。结论：本研究的光谱为小型氰基取代PAHs提供了实验室参考数据，为解释特定AIB区域提供了有用线索；这些结果表明氰基萘分子是芳香红外带的潜在贡献者。
英文摘要
Context. Aromatic infrared bands (AIBs) are widely observed in diverse astrophysical environments and are generally attributed to vibrational emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The recent interstellar detection of 1-cyanonaphthalene (1-CNN) and 2-cyanonaphthalene (2-CNN) has motivated detailed infrared spectroscopic studies of cyano-substituted PAHs. Aims. We aim to characterize the infrared spectra and vibrational modes of neutral 1-CNN and 2-CNN under cold and gas-phase conditions and to assess their possible spectroscopic relevance to the astronomical AIBs. Methods. The gas-phase infrared spectra of neutral 1-CNN and 2-CNN were measured in a cold molecular beam using ion-dip spectroscopy. The observed bands were assigned with the aid of harmonic and anharmonic calculations at the B3LYP/N07D level. Infrared emission spectra were subsequently simulated from the experimental spectra within a single-photon approximation framework. Results. We report the infrared spectra of neutral 1-CNN and 2-CNN measured under cold and gas-phase conditions relevant to the interstellar medium. Their vibrational features were assigned in detail, including fundamental vibrations as well as overtone and combination bands. The simulated emission spectra exhibit features in several wavelength regions associated with prominent AIBs, including the aromatic CH stretching region near 3.3 micron, the CC stretching region near 6.2 micron, the mixed CH in-plane bending and CC stretching region at 8.6-8.9 microns, and the CH out-of-plane bending region between 10 and 15 microns. Conclusions. The present spectra provide laboratory reference data for small cyano-substituted PAHs and offer useful clues for interpreting selected AIB regions. These results suggest that cyanonaphthalene molecules are promising contributors to the aromatic infrared bands.
