Abstract
The three isomers of the xylyl radical, C8H9, are possible intermediates in the formation of soot and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Their infrared spectra have been recorded by IR/UV ion dip spectroscopy using free electron laser radiation. The radicals were generated by flash pyrolysis from the corresponding nitrites and resonantly ionized via the D3 ← D0 transition around 310 nm. Mid-infrared spectra of the three xylyl isomers were recorded between 550 and 1700 cm-1 and are in excellent agreement with computations, provided that overtones and combination bands are included in the simulation. The results show that the three xylyl isomers can be distinguished by their infrared spectra and that no isomerization occurs in the pyrolysis reactor. The IR spectra obtained at m/z = 208 indicate that dimerization of xylyl radicals leads to substituted stilbenes, which has not been observed for benzyl.

Abstract
Resonant one-color two-photon ionization spectroscopy and mass-selected threshold photoelectron spectroscopy were applied to study the electronic doublet states of the three xylyl (methyl-benzyl) radicals above 3.9 eV as well as the singlet and triplet states of the cations up to 10.5 eV. The experiments are complemented by quantum chemical calculations and Franck-Condon simulations to characterize the transitions and to identify the origin bands, allowing a precise determination of singlet-triplet splittings in the cations. Torsional motions of the methyl group notably affect the D0 → D3 transition of m-xylyl. All other investigated transitions either lead to electronic states with very low rotational barriers or suffer from spectral broadening in excess of methyl torsional energy levels. The methyl internal rotational potential is faithfully reproduced with the most basic ab initio methods, yet hyperconjugation could not be identified as a significant force shaping them. Time-dependent density functional theory describes the excited electronic states better than wave function theory approaches, notably EOM-CCSD.

Abstract
Vibronically excited but jet-cooled benzyl-type radicals were generated by the corona discharge of precursor 4-fluoro-o-xylene seeded in a large amount of inert carrier gas helium using a pinhole-type glass nozzle, from which the vibronic emission spectra were observed with a long-path monochromator in the visible region. From an analysis of the spectra observed, we identified the existence of two isomeric benzyl-type radicals, 2-methyl-4-fluorobenzyl and 2-methyl-5-fluorobenzyl radicals in corona discharge, and determined the electronic energy of the D1 → D0 transition and several vibrational mode frequencies in the D0 state of both isomers for the first time.

Abstract
By means of a technique of corona excited supersonic expansion coupled with a pinhole-type glass nozzle, we generated vibronically excited but jet-cooled benzyl-type radicals from precursor 2-chloro-4-fluorotoluene seeded in a large amount of inert carrier gas He. From an analysis of the visible vibronic emission spectrum, we found evidence of the formation of the 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzyl and 4-fluorobenzyl radicals. A possible pathway for the formation of these benzyl-type radicals is herein proposed. Also, the electronic energy in the D(1) → D(0) transition and the vibrational mode frequencies of the 2-chloro-4-fluorobenzyl radical in the ground electronic state were accurately determined, for the first time, by comparison with ab initio calculations and the known vibrational data of the precursor.

Abstract
The controversial vibronic assignments of isomeric dimethylbenzyl radicals were clearly resolved by using different precursors. By employing corresponding dimethylbenzyl chlorides as precursors, we identified the origins of the vibronic bands of the dimethylbenzyl radicals generated by corona discharge of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene. From the analysis of the spectra observed from the dimethylbenzyl chlorides in a corona excited supersonic expansion, we revised previous assignments of the 3,4-, 2,4-, and 2,5-dimethylbenzyl radicals. Spectroscopic data of electronic transition and vibrational mode frequencies in the ground electronic state of each isomer were accurately determined by comparing them with those obtained by an ab initio calculation and with the known vibrational data of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene.

Abstract
We applied the technique of corona-excited supersonic expansion using a pinhole-type glass nozzle to observe the vibronic emission spectrum of jet-cooled benzyl-type radicals from the corona discharge of precursor 3,5-difluorotoluene seeded in a large amount of inert helium carrier gas. The vibronically well-resolved emission spectrum was recorded with a long-path monochromator in the visible region. After subtracting the vibronic bands originating from isomeric difluorobenzyl radicals from the observed spectrum, we identified for the first time the bands belonging to the 3,5-difluorobenzyl radical, from which the electronic energy and vibrational mode frequencies of the 3,5-difluorobenzyl radical were accurately determined in the ground electronic state by comparison with those of the precursor and with those from an ab initio calculation.

Abstract
A precursor, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, seeded in a large amount of an inert carrier gas, helium, was electrically discharged in a corona-excited supersonic expansion using a pinhole-type glass nozzle. The blue-green colored fluorescence emanating from the downstream jet was recorded with a long path monochromator to observe the vibronic emission spectrum of the benzyl-type radical formed. Analysis of the spectrum suggests that the most dominant product of the corona discharge is the 3,4-dimethylbenzyl radical formed by extracting a hydrogen atom from the methyl group at the 4-position. The electronic energies of the D1 and D2 states and the vibrational mode frequencies of the 3,4-dimethylbenzyl radical were accurately obtained for the first time by comparison with those from an ab initio calculation as well as those of the known vibrational mode frequencies of the precursor.
