Photochemical Dissociation from Selected Rovibronic States in Polyatomic Molecules.

Abstract

This report summarizes the results of a study which was intended to provide a clearer understanding of the relationships between the pathways for photodissociation of gas phase, polyatomic molecules and the quantum states into which they are initially excited. The study characterized these relationships by examining the absolute and relative efficiencies for dissociation along specific pathways leading to particular products. The parent molecule was, in general, prepared by excitation in single vibronic levels (SVL) in which a broad, undefined distribution of rotational levels was simultaneously populated. (Author)
