Abstract: | Exclusively selective OD bond dissociation of HOD has been demonstrated by the ultraviolet photodissociation at 243.1 nm through the fourth overtone state of the OD stretching mode (5nu(OD)). Branching ratio between the OH and OD bond dissociation channels has been determined by detecting H and D atoms, utilizing a (2+1) resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) process. The OD bond dissociation has been solely observed with the branching ratio phi(D+OH)/phi(H+OD)>12, which has been determined by the detection limit for the H atom. Time-dependent wave-packet calculations reveal two important features for the highly selective OD bond dissociation: (1) strong local-mode character of the 5nu(OD) state and (2) limitation of the total excitation energy lower than the saddle point between the OH and OD dissociation channels in the A state. Additionally, the recoil velocity and angular distribution of the nascent D atom are roughly evaluated by analyzing the Doppler-resolved REMPI spectrum. Based on these results, the dynamics of the selective OD dissociation has been discussed in detail. |
