Dynamics and yields for CHBrCl2photodissociation from 215–265 nm

Abstract

We characterize the energy partitioning and spin–orbit yields for CHBrCl₂photodissociation. Resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization selectively detects the Br and Br* product channels. Time of flight mass spectrometry and velocity-map imaging permit measurement of relative quantum yields, as well as kinetic and internal energy distributions. We further interpret the energy partitioning through use of impulsive models.
