Anharmonic cascade emission simulations are crucial for the analysis of JWST observational spectra, as demonstrated by the deep insights gained from reproducing recent emission spectroscopy experiments of phenylacetylene. The study reveals the strong resonance coupling between fundamental and two-quanta combination modes in phenylacetylene, and provides indications of coupling with higher-order, three-quanta combination bands. This research lays the groundwork for the development of advanced computational methods for larger astronomical systems.
Anharmonic cascade emission simulations, herein evinced by full reproduction and deep insights into recent emission spectroscopy experiments of phenylacetylene, are integral to the future successful analysis of JWST observational spectra. Experimental infrared absorption experiments conducted in this study reveal a complex spectrum dominated by quantum effects that are uncovered by anharmonic computational analysis. From this work, it becomes clear that phenylacetylene exhibits strong resonance coupling between fundamental and two-quanta combination modes as well as giving indication for coupling with higher-order, three-quanta combination bands. This study benchmarks the development of advanced computational methods that will be extended to larger systems of astronomical relevance and those including isotopic substitution and side group functionalization with groups such as acetylene. The astrophysical implications of these results, including the potential for detection of acetylenic C-H stretches in space, are discussed in the vein of the impact polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have on astronomical infrared emission bands.
