Summary:Vibronic and cation spectra of p-ethynylaniline. [Display omitted] ► The vibronic and cation spectra of p-ethynylaniline have been recorded. ► The electronic excitation and ionization energies are precisely determined. ► The observed vibrations include in-plane ring deformation and bending modes. We applied the resonant two-photon ionization and mass-analyzed threshold ionization spectroscopic techniques to record the vibronic and cation spectra of p-ethynylaniline. The cation spectra were obtained by ionizing via the 00, 121, and 11 levels of the electronically excited S1 state. The band origin of the S1←S0 electronic excitation and the adiabatic ionization energy were found to be 32656±2cm−1 and 61270±5cm−1, respectively. The observed active modes result from the in-plane ring deformation, substituent-sensitive in-plane bending, and out-of-plane vibrations.
