The SVLF spectrum with the excitation in the unknown band.

Benzene-type modes

Conclusion• The analysis and assignments of the ground and first excit

ed states of phenylvinylacetylene are reported. The spectroscopy reveals Duschinsky mixing with four lower-frequency out-of-plane modes and IVR at high excess energy.

• The unknown band at 260 cm-1 above the origin in FE spectrum is probably originated from the Z isomer.

Future work

1. Quantitatively analyze Duschinsky mixing with four low-frequency out-of-plane modes.

2. Synthesize the Z isomer to get the spectral information for comparison with the E isomer.

3. UV-induced structural isomerization of E- or Z-PVA.
