Single-Color Isomer-Resolved Spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: Structural isomers, such as conformers or tautomers, are of significant importance across chemistry and biology, as they can have different functionalities. In gas-phase experiments using molecular beams, formation of many different isomers cannot be prevented, and their presence significantly complicates the assignment of spectral lines. Current isomer-resolved spectroscopic techniques heavily rely on theoretical calculations or make use of elaborate double-resonance schemes. We show here that isomer-resolved spectroscopy can also be performed using a single tunable laser. In particular, we demonstrate single-color isomer-resolved spectroscopy by utilizing electrostatic deflection to spatially separate the isomers. We show that for 3-aminophenol we can spatially separate the syn an
