The high-resolution vacuum ultraviolet photoabsorption spectrum, in the 4.0–10.8 eV energy- range, has been measured with absolute photoabsorption cross-sections and, thanks to novel ab initio calculations of the vertical energies and oscillator strengths, an assignment of the electronic transitions is comprehensively reported. The assignment of weak vibrational features in the absorption bands of TCA reveal that the ring and C–Cl stretching modes are mainly active. In the photoelectron spectrum the lowest 18 ionic bands, between 8 and 30 eV, have been observed and assigned using the first set of calculated valence and outer valence vertical ionisation energies. Finally, the measured absolute photoabsorption cross sections have also been used to estimate the photolysis lifetime of TCA in the upper stratosphere (20–50 km).Show less >
