Abstract

Abstract: A new method, described as the laser-drop technique, is presented which allows preparative experiments in laser-induced multiphoton chemistry. The technique shares most of the advantages of the successful laser-jet technique but allows the use of pulsed lasers that are readily available in many laboratories. The laser-drop method has been tested with two photochemical systems. The well-studied diphenylmethyl radical system allows a ...
