Excited states and photodissociation dynamics of the triiodine radical „I3..

چکیده
The electronic spectroscopy and photodissociation dynamics of the I3 radical are investigated with two experimental methods. The ground and several low-lying excited states of the I3 radical are characterized by photoelectron spectroscopy of I3 2 at 213 nm. Assignments of these states are discussed with reference to recent calculations. In addition, photodissociation of the I3 radical was investigated at selected photon energies ~4.59, 4.96, and 5.17 eV! by fast radical beam photofragment translational spectroscopy. Two product channels were observed with mass ratios of 1:2 and 1:1, and translational energy (P(ET)) distributions were measured. The P(ET) distributions for products with mass ratio 1:2 show that this channel corresponds to I2 in various electronic states along with atomic I in its P3/2 or P1/2 state. The 1:1 channel corresponds primarily to concerted three-body dissociation to three I atoms. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-9606~00!01043-6#

The photodissociation dynamics of the ethoxy radical (CH3CH2O) have been studied at energies from 5.17 to 5.96 eV using photofragment coincidence imaging. The upper state of the electronic transition excited at these energies is assigned to the C2A''state on the basis of electronic structure calculations. Fragment mass distributions show two photodissociation channels, OH + C2H4 and CH3 + CH2O....

The photodissociation dynamics of the methyl perthiyl radical (CH3SS) have been investigated using fast-beam coincidence translational spectroscopy. Methyl perthiyl radicals were produced by photodetachment of the CH3SS(-) anion followed by photodissociation at 248 nm (5.0 eV) and 193 nm (6.4 eV). Photofragment mass distributions and translational energy distributions were measured at each diss...

The photodissociation dynamics of H2O in the AB1 band is investigated by implementing a recently developed time-sliced semiclassical initial value representation method (Burant, J. C.; Batista, V. S. J. Chem. Phys. 2002, 116, 2748). The capabilities of the computational method are explored as applied to calculations of partial and total photodissociation cross sections associated with highly ex...
