Dynamics of multi-channel dissociation of tetrahydrofuran photoexcited at 193 nm: distributions of kinetic energy, angular anisotropies and branching ratios
Literature Information
We investigated the photodissociation dynamics of tetrahydrofuran (c-C4H8O) at 193.3 nm in a molecular-beam apparatus using photofragment-translational spectroscopy and direct vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) photoionization. Five dissociation channels leading to products with m/z ratios appropriate for CH2CH2CH2 + H2CO, CH2CHCH2 + CH2OH, H + CH2CH2 + CH2CHO, CH2CH2 + CH3 + HCO and CH2CH2 + CH2CO + H2 were identified; their branching ratios were determined to be 0.40, 0.25, 0.04 0.29 and 0.02, respectively. Secondary dissociations from nascent products CH2CH2CH2CHO to CH2CH2 + CH2CHO and from CH2CH2O to CH3 + HCO and likely to CH2CO + H2 were observed. We measured distributions of product kinetic energy, average kinetic-energy release, and fractions in translation for each dissociation channel. The formation of CH2CHCH2 + CH2OH indicates that hydrogen migration occurs before complete fragmentation. All photofragments have nearly isotropic angular distributions, with |β| values less than 0.05. The photodissociation of tetrahydrofuran into five channels is proposed to proceed mainly on the ground state potential-energy surface following ring opening and efficient internal conversions.

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.
