Overview
Anthony Merer is a spectroscopist’s spectroscopist. Every one of his papers is a masterwork of depth and clarity. His research addresses and answers a wide range of fundamental questions in electronic spectroscopy, always with elegant simplicity. This special issue will emphasize the four main areas of Anthony Merer’s research:
- The Renner-Teller Effect
- The electronic structure of transition metal containing diatomic molecules
- The electronic spectra of small polyatomic molecules and free radicals
- The S1 electronic state of acetylene: polyads, the mechanisms of trans-cis isomerization and predissociation
Each spectrum tells a story. Often the story starts with the appearance of complexity. It is the story, not a table of molecular constants that has fundamental value. What causes a triatomic molecule in a P state to have a bent equilibrium structure? How are the Periodic Table properties of the 3d and 4d transition metals displayed in the electronic state ordering of metal-containing diatomic molecules? Triatomic molecules ought to be only a little more complicated than diatomic molecules, but how many forms of beautiful complexity are on display? As a four-atomic di-hydride acetylene should be simple, but it is not! The di-hydride aspect makes it possible to go much more deeply into territories forbidden by textbooks. How is the “dynamics” of bond-breaking isomerization encoded in a frequency domain spectrum? Despite the broken patterns and previously unimagined features, the spectra get correctly and globally assigned, fitted, and forced to reveal their secrets, not just their constants.
