The vibrational frequency of FeS（X5 △） （518±5 cm-1） agrees well with that reported in a recent PES measurement （520±30 cm-1） [J. Phys. Chem. A 107, 2821 （2003）] which is the only one prior experimental vibrational frequency value for the 5 △ state of FeS. Careful comparisons of our experimental results and those documented in the literature （mainly from theoretical predictions） suggest that the ground state of FeS is 5 △ state.展开更多
