Following photodissociation of vinyl chloride seeded in a He supersonic jet at 193 nm, rotationally resolved infrared emission of HCl (v) are recorded to yield nascent rotational and vibrational distributions. Preliminary results show that the rotational distribution of HCl free from rotational quenching deviates slightly from Boltzmann-type distribution and agrees well with trajectory calculations; a portion of the low-J component observed previously in a flow system is attributed to quenching. The implications for photodissociation dynamics are discussed.

A new method for detecting trace vapors of NO2-containing compounds near atmospheric conditions has been demonstrated with the use of one-color-laser photofragmentation/ionization spectrometry. An ArF laser is employed to both photolytically fragment the target molecules in a collision-free environment and ionize the characteristic NO fragments. The production of NO is hypothesized to result from a combination of two NO2 unimolecular fragmentation pathways, one yielding NO in its X2II electronic ground state and the other in its A2Σ+ excited state. Ionization of ground-state NO molecules is accomplished by resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization processes via its A2Σ+ ← X2II (3, 0), B2II ← X2II (7, 0) and/or D2Σ+ ← X2II (0, 1) bands at 193 nm. The analytical utility of this method is demonstrated in a molecular beam time-of-flight apparatus. Limits of detection range from the parts-per-million (ppm) to parts-per-billion (ppb) level for NO, NO2, CH3NO2, dimethylnitramine (DMNA), ortho- and meta-nitrotoluene, nitrobenzene, and trinitrotoluene (TNT). Under effusive beam experimental conditions, discrimination between structural isomers, ortho-nitrotoluene and meta-nitrotoluene, has been demonstrated with the use of their characteristic photofragmentation/ionization mass spectra.

Multiphoton dissociation processes of vinyl chloride and bromide were studied with a broadband ArF laser at 193 nm and with a narrowband tunable laser in the region of 212 nm, in the peak and in the threshold of the absorption band, respectively, for both compounds. Photolysis at 193 nm gives rise to the corresponding hydrogen halide in the B1∑+ excited state which results in an intense UV emission. However these emissions are absent when photodissociation was performed with the narrow band dye laser around 212 nm. These results, together with a calculation of the observed spectra, give further support to a mechanism which invokes one-photon resonant absorption of vibrationally hot ground state hydrogen halide as the process which populates the excited B1∑+ state of the fragment.
