title: Photodissociation study of 1,3-dibromopropane at 234 nm via an ion velocity imaging technique.
abstract: The photodissociation of 1,3-dibromopropane has been studied at 234 nm using a 2D photofragment ion velocity imaging technique coupled with a [2 + 1] resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization scheme. The velocity distributions for the Br (2P1/2) (denoted Br) and Br (2P3/2) (denoted Br) fragments are determined, and each can be fitted by a narrow single-peaked Gaussian curve, suggesting that bromine fragments are generated as a result of direct dissociation via repulsive potential energy surfaces. The recoil anisotropies were measured to be beta = 0.80 for Br and 1.31 for Br, and the product relative quantum yields at 234 nm is Phi234 nm(Br) = 0.21.
