โฆ Synopsis
The photodissociation of methyl hydroperoxide (CHaOOH) has been studied in a molecular beam by photofragment translational spectroscopy. As CH,OOH rapidly decomposes upon contact with metal, a new metal-free molecular beam source was designed, which is also suited to the generation of beam pulses of corrosive gases. After excitation at 193 and 248 nm, CH,OOH decays exclusively into CHsO+OH. At 193 nm, the average kinetic energy of the fragments (&> =67 kcal/mol, corresponding to r 65% of the available energy and implying an average internal energy (&,
