โฆ Synopsis
The rotational state populations of HCI ( u" = 0, 1, and 2) and the tine structure population of Cl( 'P,) produced in the UV photodissociation of vinyl chloride were measured in a molecular beam pump-and-probe experiment. Boltzmann-like distributions were observed for the rotational populations in vibrational states u" = 1 and 2, with temperatures of 2100 k 250 and 1800 f 140 K, respectively. In contrast, for un = 0 a non-Boltzmann distribution was observed, with low-and high-.! "temperatures" of 340 and 22600 K, respectively. The very different rotational distributions observed for D'I = 0 and c" > 0 suggest the existence ofa dual mechanism for elimination. 89% of the Cl atoms were observed in the 'P,,, state, which is indicative of an adiabatic recoil mechanism.
