✦ Synopsis
The photofragmentation of an equimolar mixture of cycloheptatriene and I l,Me-''C, 1 toluene was studied with photons of wavelength 488 nm in order to obtain a direct comparison between the two isomers. The idea was to check the extent to which these photons could be used as a probe to study the fragmentation processes. Whenever feasible, the data were treated by a kinetic scheme and rate constants were obtained by a non-linear regression. It could be shown that the decay of both isomers follows a time behaviour described by two exponential decays.
Evidence is presented that the faster decay leads to the benzyl ion. The photofragmentation of the [C7H7]+ ions follows a complex behaviour that can be superimposed by selective ion-molecule reactions.
