Photodissociation of Azulene Under UV-Laser Irradiation At 325 nm

Abstract

UV-laser photodissociation of azulene at 325 nm is reported. The photodissociation reaction occurs by a two photon absorption process producing acetylene. The quantum yield for acetylene produced by irradiation of neat azulene and azulene/ argon mixtures is reported. The quantum yield of acetylene produced after irradiation of peat azulene at its normal vapor pressure is approximately (5.85+/-1.46)x10-6.
