A molecular beam of SO\* has been photodissociated at I93 nm to measure both the translational energy and angular distributions, from which it is concluded that the photodissociation is predissociative and that the vibrational population is peaked at un =2.

โฆ Synopsis
The 193 nm photodissociation of the isotopomers SOz, SO: and SOO' (with O*= '*O) was studied by high-resolution photofragment translational spectroscopy. The translational energy distributions P(&) of the fragment pairs SOtO, SO'tff, SOt(T and SO*+0 were determined from systematic analysis of the time-of-flight distributions obtained with various degrees of O* substitution and were found to be significantly different due to a different m-vibrational distribution of the diatomic fragments. In the case of the symmetric isotopomers SO, and S@ the difference of the P(&) distributions is attributed to a slightly different state excitation in the e electronic band of the parent molecule, The S-O and S-0' bond fission of the asymmetric SOO* have equal probabilities but lead to different energy distributions in the SO and SO* fragments which reflect subtle differences in the dissociation dynamics of the two reaction modes.
