Abstract
Abstract The adiabatic ionization energy of p -methylanisole is measured to be 63 972 ± 5 cm −1 , which is red-shifted with respect to those of anisole and toluene. This indicates that the interaction of either CH 3 or OCH 3 group with the ring is stronger in the cationic D 0 state than that in the neutral S 0 state. Most of the observed MATI bands result from in-plane ring vibrations. The frequencies of vibrations 9b, 6a, and 1 of the p -methylanisole cation are found to be 407, 515, and 811 cm −1 , respectively.
