The bound excited np 3 2 D terms of Si−, Ge−, and Sn− have been investigated with a combination of single-and multiphoton tunable infrared laser experiments. The binding energies of the two J= 3/2 and J= 5/2 fine-structure levels were found to be 0.527 234 (25) and 0.525 489 (20) eV, respectively for Si−, 0.401 44 (10) and 0.377 27 (6) eV for Ge−, and 0.397 617 (15) and 0.304 635 (15) eV for Sn−. These results constitute improvements in accuracy over previous experimental term energies of up to four orders of magnitude and further provide experimental values for the 2 D fine-structure splittings: 14.08 (20), 192.6 (9), and 749.95 (15) cm− 1 for Si−, Ge−, and Sn−, respectively. In addition, the photodetachment thresholds of the ionic 4 S 3/2 ground states have been reinvestigated. This resulted in improved electron affinities of 1.262 119 (20), 1.389 521 (20), 1.232 712 (15), and 1.112 067 (15) eV for C−, Si−, Ge−, and Sn−, respectively. Various attempts towards an observation of the very weakly bound C−(2 D) and Si−(2 P) terms remain unsuccessful.
