✦ Synopsis

The kinematic constraints on the final-state interaction in photodissociation processes of triatomic molecules are studied. Numerical evaluations of the rotational population distributions of HS photofragments have been implemented. Good agreement between the calculated distributions and experimental data is found. For H2S molecules, our numerical results indicate a dissociative mechanism via a direct bond rupture. The energy partitioning in the photofragmentation process of H2S at 193 nm agrees with the proposed mechanism.
