Dynamic Constraints on Stochastic Behavior in the Chemistry of Highly Excited Molecules
Abstract
The intention of this project was to synthesize a number of organic molecules whose decomposition would lead to highly vibrationally excited intermediates, and then to study the energy disposition in these intermediates and compare it with the predictions of stochastic models which are believed to be deficient in this domain. At the termination of the project the synthesis of all target molecules had been accomplished and the study of their behavior had just begun. Significant evidence for dynamic control of branching ratios was obtained even from the limited experimental work that could be carried out before termination of the project.
