Electronic spectra of the protonated indole chromophore in the gas phase

The electronic spectroscopy of cold protonated indole was investigated experimentally and theoretically. Two isomers were observed by experiment: The first isomer corresponds to the lowest-energy isomer in the calculations, absorbing at ∼350 nm and protonated on the C3 atom of the pyrrole ring. Acco...
