✦ Synopsis

Infrared multiple-photon dissociation of CTC13 was investigated using a pulsed CO2 laser-pumped NH3 laser at 12.08 /am. No evidence of any CDC13 depletion or decomposition product was observed in photolyzed CTCI3/CDC13 mixtures. A lower limit of the single-step T/D enrichment factor,/3, was found to be ~ 165, based on the sensitivity in measuring CDCI 3 depletion. The low-fluence CTC13/CDC13 optical selectivity in absorption is >9000 at the 835 cm -1 CTCI 3 v 4 peak.
