Abstract

The photodissociation of acetaldehyde in the molecular channel yielding CO and CH4 at 248 nm has been studied, probing different rotational states of the CO(ν = 0) fragment by slice ion imaging using a 2+1 REMPI scheme at around 230 nm. From the slice images, clear evidence of the co-existence of two different mechanisms has been obtained. One of the mechanisms is consistent with the well-studied conventional transition state in which CO products appear rotationally excited, and the second is consistent with a roaming mechanism. This roaming mechanism is characterized by a low rotational energy disposal into the CO fragment as well as by a very low kinetic energy release, corresponding to a high internal energy in the CH4 counter-fragment.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
