Abstract

Acetic acid has been photolyzed at 218 nm under both room temperature and jet-cooled conditions. The nascent OH X2II (v"= O) photofragment has been probed by use of laser fluorescence excitation to determine its scalar and vector quantities. Jet-cooled acetic acid leads to OH photofragments with about 30% less rotational excitation than does the room temperature acetic acid. In both cases, only a few percent of the total available energy is ...
