The spin-orbit transition of atomic chlorine in solid H2, HD, and D2.
Essential to understanding the reaction dynamics of spin-orbit (SO) excited atomic chlorine (2P1/2) with molecular hydrogen is experimental measurements of the SO splitting of Cl in the van der Waals region of the entrance channel to reaction. Here we report high-resolution direct absorption studies of the SO transition (2P1/2<--2P3/2) of atomic chlorine isolated in solid molecular hydrogen (H2, HD, and D2).
