title: Probing for non-statistical effects in dissociation of the 1-methylallyl radical.
abstract: The 1-methylallyl radical loses a hydrogen atom following photoexcitation to its lowest valence electronically excited state and displays statistical behavior in decomposition, implying that the presence of methyl rotors cannot be depended upon as an indicator for non-statistical dissociation dynamics in hydrocarbon radicals.
