Abstract: | High-resolution photofragment translational spectroscopy is used in this work to measure the translational and internal energy distributions in the CD3 and iodine fragments produced from the photodissociation of CD3I at 266 and 304 nm. Channel selected detection, via resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization, combined with one-dimensional core sampling provides detailed information about vibrational state distributions of the CD3 fragments. The vibrational state distributions of CD3 fragments in the I*(2P12) channel have a propensity of nu2 ' umbrella bending mode with a maximum at nu2 ' = 1 for 266 nm photodissociation. For I*(2P12) channel at 304 nm photodissociation, vibrational state distributions of CD3 fragment have a maximum in the vibrational ground state. For the I(2P32) channel (1Q1 <-- 3Q(0+)), nu2 ' umbrella bending vibrational distribution is measured as the predominant vibrational mode but has a much broader distribution when compared to that of the I* channel. The vibrational state distributions of the CD3 fragment produced from the perpendicular transition, i.e., 3Q1, which was determined at 304 nm photodissociation, has a maximum at nu2 ' = 1. The curve crossing possibility between the 1Q1 and 3Q(0+) adiabatic potentials is determined as 0.19 for 266 and 0.85 for 304 nm. The trend in reaction dynamics in 266 and 304 nm photodissociation of CD3I is compared with theoretical calculations. A bond dissociation energy D0(C-I) = 56.60+/-0.5 kcal/mol was derived by applying laws of energy conservation. |
