Photodissociation of molecules: the microscopic path of a molecular decay
نویسنده
چکیده
The state-selective photodissociation of methylnitrite CH30NO(So,v) + hv -+ CH30+ NO(t,r,v) is reviewed and the dynamics of the bond-breaking process is analysed in connection with an ab initio S1-potential energy surface of the parent molecule. Experimental and theoretical results reveal an interesting picture of the dissociation path of a polyatomic molecule which decays by vibrational predissociation and a strong exit channel interaction.

A MODEL STUDY OF LASER ISOTOPE SEPARATION BY PHOTOIONIZATION OR PHOTODISSOCIATION PROCESS
In this study, the selective photoexication of isotopic mixtures by laser light is investigated. Atomic and molecular methods are examined and rate equations are derived for both cases. Two and three step photoionization techniques are considered and rate equations are solved for ion yields. The molecular photodissociation process is also studied and the dependence of the dissociation produ...
متن کاملSurfactant Effects on Tautomeric and Microscopic Equilibria of Tryptophan: Experimental and Theoretical Studies
Surfactant molecules are used as interesting tools to study the structure, function and stability of proteins. Protonation states of amino acids may be changed in the presence of surfactants. In this work, using experimental observations and molecular dynamic simulation, the effects of sodium dodecyl sulfate on the acid dissociation constants of tryptophan was examined. The acid–base equilibriu...
متن کاملUse of semi empirical method for determination of the activation energy of thermal decomposition of vinyl ethers
In this research, a semi empirical approach has been suggested for calculating the activation energyof unimolecular thermal decomposition of vinyl ethers yielding saturated products. The calculationprocedure is based on the use of molecular mechanics (MM) methods. These methods which involvethe construction of the transition state for a molecule mainly consider the formation of a “HydrogenBridg...
متن کاملMolecular Tagging Using Vibrationally Excited Nitric Oxide in an Underexpanded Jet Flowfield
We report a laser diagnostic technique which relies on planar laser-induced fluorescence of vibrationally excited nitric oxide (NOv 1) molecules produced from the 355 nm photodissociation of seeded NO2 for molecular tagging velocimetry applications. The technique was applied toward an axisymmetric highly underexpanded jet flowfield to yield single-component (streamwise) velocity maps. Detection...
متن کاملThe Role of Dephasing in the Assessment of DMRI through Langevin Equation Approach
Introduction: Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DWMRI) provides visual contrast, depends on Brownian motion of water molecules. The diffusive behavior of water in cells alters in many disease states. Dephasing is a factor of magnetic field inhomogeneity, heterogeneity of tissue and etc., which is associated with the signal amplitude. In a series of DWI acquisition...
