Based on classical electrodynamic theory, cross sections for surface photochemical processes are derived as a function of the angle of incidence. Using s-and p-polarized light, the expected primary excitation mechanisms, i.e. direct excitation and substrate excitation, can be distinguished. Two exam

β¦ Synopsis
It is demonstrated that direct and substrate-mediated excitation mechanisms in surface photochemical reactions can be discriminated based on the pronounced angular dependence of the electric fields at the vacuum interface of a transparent substrate covered with a thin metal film. We can unambiguously establish the change from a direct to a substrate-mediated excitation mechanism in the photodesorption of SO2 (hv= 6.4 eV) adsorbed on a quartz prism, with and without a 300 A Ag film.

The photolysis of SO, in the presence of cis-and trans-2-pentene has been investigated at 3660 Quantum yield measurements of the SO, photosensitized conversion of one isomer into the other are consistent with a mechanism in which the only participating excited electronic state of SO, is the H02(3B1
We investigated the infrared multiphoton excitation of SO2 in bulk samples and in a supersonic jet with the 9R1,22), 9R(32), and 9P( 32) CO\*-laser lines. Coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectra reveal unambiguously that only the v,-mode at II5 I .3 cm-' is actually pumped; no 2vl overtone pumping at 103
Ah&act--IR spectroscopic studies were carried out on the character of interactions between adsorbed molecules of SO, and OIt II,0 or H2S on the surface of carbons. The character of bonding between adsorbed molecules and the carbon films depends on the chemical structure of the surface functionai gro
