A tunable ultraviolet Iascr has been used to imestigate the deuterium enrichment resulting from the phoropredissociation of formaldehyde. An enrichment factor of 2.54 + 30 has been measured at 345.6 nm starting from a 4Torr sample of natural formaldehydf. ? \_ introduction Formaldehyde wx one of the

โฆ Synopsis
Separation of carbon i2113 isotopes has been achieved by selective predissociation of formaldehyde using a frequer.cydouble dye laser. The ~n~chme~t factor for pure formaldehyde samples is fess than expected from spectroscopic data but is greatly improved by the addition of NO. Starting from a 1:lO mixture of in 12C0 has bean obtained.
