چکیده

The slope of the three-isotope plot for the isotopomer fractionation by direct or nearly direct photodissociation is obtained using a perturbation theoretical analysis. This result, correct to first order in the mass difference, is the same as that for equilibrium chemical exchange reactions, a similarity unexpected a priori. A comparison is made with computational results for N2O photodissociation. This theoretical slope for mass-dependent photolytic fractionation can be used to analyze the data for isotopic anomalies in spin-allowed photodissociation reactions. Earlier work on chemical equilibria is extended by avoiding a high-temperature approximation.

Wavelength dependence of isotope fractionation in N2O photolysis

In previous reports on isotopic fractionation in the ultraviolet photolysis of nitrous oxide (N2O) only enrichments of heavy isotopes in the remaining N2O fraction have been found. However, most direct photolysis experiments have been performed at wavelengths far from the absorption maximum at 182 nm. Here we present high-precision measurements of the 15N and 18O fractionation constants (ε) in ...

Positionally dependent fractionation factors for the photolysis of isotopomers of N20 in natural abundance have been determined by high resolution FTIR spectroscopy at three photolysis wavelengths. Fractionation factors show clear lSN position and photolysis wavelength dependence and are in qualitative agreement with theoretical models but are twice as large. The fractionation factors increase ...

Isotopic Fractionation Associated with Photochemistry of Co: Experimental Findings Relevant to the Solar Nebula

Introduction: Isotopically selective dissociation of CO (the most abundant nebular oxygen bearing molecule) via termed isotope self-shielding is a significant photochemical processes in interstellar molecular clouds [1-3] invoked to explain the observed over abundance of minor isotopomers of CO (CO, CO, CO). This process has been suggested as a mechanism to explain the oxygen isotopic compositi...
