Abstract

Photodissociation of the allyl radical, CH 2 CHCH 2, has been studied using the method of molecular beam photofragment translational spectroscopy following excitation to the C̃ (2 2 B 1) and à (1 2 B 1) states by 248 and 351 nm photons. Two different primary channels have been detected following 248 nm excitation: H-atom loss (84%) and CH 3 elimination (16%). From the product translational energy distribution and polarization dependence studies, ...
