Energy Partitioning and Assignment of Excited States in the Ultraviolet Photolysis of HI and DI,
Abstract
Photofragment spectroscopy has been applied to the photolysis of hydrogen iodide and deuterium iodide at 37 550/cm (266.2 nm). The extent of excited I(doublet P(1/2)) atom production and the symmetry of the excited molecular states leading to dissociation are derived by measuring the translational energy and angular distributions of the recoiling H and D atoms. A non-linear curve fitting technique is applied to the available data to separate each state's contribution to the total continuum absorption, and to provide estimates of the shape of each excited state potential energy curve.
