Helium-solvated ethylperoxy radicals (CH3CH2OO center dot) are formed via the in situ reaction between (2)A' ethyl radical and (3)Sigma(-)(g) dioxygen. The reactants are captured sequentially through the droplet pick-up technique. Helium droplets are doped with ethyl radical via pyrolysis of di-tert-amyl peroxide or n-propylnitrite in an effusive, low-pressure source. An infrared spectrum of ethylperoxy, in the CH stretching region, is recorded with species-selective droplet beam depletion spectroscopy. Spectral assignments are made via comparisons to second-order vibrational perturbation theory with resonances (VPT2 + K) based on coupled-cluster full quartic force fields. Cubic and quartic force constants, evaluated using a small basis set, are transformed into the normal coordinate system of the higher level quadratic force constants. This transformation procedure eliminates the mismatch between normal modes, which is a source of error whenever normal coordinate force constants from different levels of theory are combined. The spectrum shows signatures of both the C-1 gauche and C-s trans rotamers in an approximate 2:1 ratio; this is despite the prediction that the gauche rotamer lies 44 cm(-1) lower on the zero-Kelvin enthalpic potential surface for torsional interconversion. Helium droplets are 0.4 K at equilibrium; therefore, in situ ethylperoxy production is highly nonthermal.
