The gas-phase electronic spectra of two resonantly stabilized radicals, 1-indanyl (C9H9) and 1-methyl-1-indanyl (C10H11), have been recorded in the visible region using a resonant two-color two-photon ionization (R2C2PI) scheme. The D1(A鈥? 鈫?D0(A鈥? origin bands of 1-indanyl and 1-methyl-1-indanyl radicals are observed at 21157 and 20565 cm鈥?, respectively. The excitation of a鈥?vibrations in the D1 state is observed up to 鈭?500 cm鈥? above the origin band in both cases. The experimental assignments are in agreement with DFT and TD-DFT calculations. The R2C2PI spectrum recorded at m/z = 131 amu (C10H11) features three additional electronic transitions at 21433, 21369, and 17989 cm鈥?, which are assigned to the origin bands of 7-methyl-1-indanyl, 2,3,4-trihydronaphthyl, and methyl-4-ethenylbenzyl radicals, respectively.
