摘要
The near-UV photodissociation dynamics of CH2I2 has been investigated using a combination of velocity-map (slice) ion imaging and ab initio calculations characterizing the excited states. Ground state I(P-2(3/2)) and spin-orbit excited I*(P-2(1/2)) atoms were probed using 2 + 1 resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) or with single-photon VUV ionization. Two-color ion images were recorded at pump wavelengths of 355 nm, 266 nm and 248 nm, and one-color ion images at the REMPI wavelengths of similar to 304 nm and similar to 280 nm. Analysis of the ion images shows that, regardless of iodine spin-orbit state, similar to 20% of the available energy is partitioned into translation E-T at all excitation wavelengths indicating that the CH2I co-fragment is formed highly internally excited. The translational energy distributions comprise a slow, "statistical" component that peaks near zero and faster components that peak away from zero. The slow component makes an increasingly large contribution to the distribution as the excitation wavelength is decreased. The C-I bond dissociation energy of D-0 = 2.155 +/- 0.008 eV is obtained from the trend in the E-T release of the faster components with increasing excitation energy. The I and I* ion images are anisotropic, indicating prompt dissociation, and are characterized by beta parameters that become increasingly positive with increasing E-T. The decrease in beta at lower translational energies can be attributed to deviation from axial recoil. MRCI calculations including spin-orbit coupling have been performed to identify the overlapping features in the absorption spectrum and characterize one-dimensional cuts through the electronically excited potential energy surfaces. The excited states are of significantly mixed singlet and triplet character. At longer wavelengths, excitation directly accesses repulsive states primarily of B-1 symmetry, consistent with the observed <beta >, while shorter wavelengths accesses bound states, also of B-1 symmetry that are crossed by repulsive states.
