| FT-LIED (this work) | 1.06 ± 0.06 | 1.87 ± 0.13 | 2.78 ± 0.10 | 142 ± 22 |
| FF OCS (X1Σ+)34,35 | 1.160 | 1.560 | 2.720 | 180 |
| FF ocs+ (X2π)36 | 1.130 | 1.649 | – | – |
The C–O, C–S and O–S internuclear distances (RCO, RCS, ROS, respectively) with the corresponding O–C–S angle, ΦOCS, are presented from our zero-crossing points and FT-LIED retrievals. Corresponding values reported in literature for the equilibrium geometry of neutral field-free (FF) OCS and OCS+ in the ground and excited electronic states are presented32–34.
