Battle of the CH motions: aliphatic versus aromatic contributions to astronomical PAH emission and exploration of the aliphatic, aromatic, and ethynyl CH stretches
{{output}}
Strong anharmonic coupling between vibrational states in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) produces highly mixed vibrational transitions that challenge the current understanding of the nature of the astronomical mid-infrared PAH emission bands. Traditiona... ...
