The Structure of the Cyclohexyl Radical from State-Selective Photofragment Translational Spectroscopy of the Axial and Equatorial Conformers of Iodocyclohexane
Abstract
Iodocyclohexame (C6H11I) is photodissociated and studied with state- selective photofragment translational spectroscopy. Angular, velocity, and translational energy distributions are obtained for the ground state and the excited state photodissociated iodine atoms. Both states are formed from a one photon absorption that is dominantly parallel to the C-I dissociation coordinate and selectively ionized multiphoton absorption for detection. Both a fast and a slow velocity component are observed in the lab velocity distribution. The relative mass peak intensity is consistent with assigning the fast component to excited iodine atoms produced from the axial conformer of iodocyclohexane, and the slow component from the equatorial conformer.
