The stereochemistry of methyl iodide photodissociation in the onset of the second absorption B-band has been studied using slice imaging of the CH3(ν = 0) and I*(2P1/2) photoproducts. The stereodynamical data have been crucial to disentangle the photochemistry of methyl iodide in terms of the competition between direct dissociation and electronic predissociation. The origin of the B-band has been established with high accuracy at 201.11 ± 0.12 nm and a depolarization factor due to parent molecule rotation during predissociation has been found to be 0.29 ± 0.06. Analysis of the semiclassical Dixon's bipolar moments extracted from the CH3(ν = 0) sliced images indicates that direct excitation to the A-band 3A1 repulsive state in the vicinity of the origin of the B-band is remarkably enhanced by vibrational coupling between the electronic states involved at the conical intersection through in-plane vibrational motion of the molecule.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

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.
