✦ Synopsis


Infrared multiphoton dissociation of tritluoroacetic acid by a pulsed CO* laser yields HF, COFz, CO1, CO, F3CC02CF2H and C2F, as photoproducts. Infrared fluorescence from the photoproducts, CO2 and COF,, is observed and analysed. Intermolecular V-V and V-R/T relaxation rate constants for CO1 decay are found to be 1.7~ lo5 and 1.4~ 10' s-l TOW', whereas for COFz decay these two relaxation rate constants are 7.3~ 10'and 8.9 x lo3 s-' Torr-', respectively.
