Abstract :
The nascent chiorine atom(2p) relative spin-orbit state population resulting from UV photolysis of HOCI has been measured by resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMP1) in single laser experiments. The ratio of (0.30 +- 0.07) for Cl*: Cl has been obtained, indicating a stronger preference for production of ground-state Cl(2p***3/2) that expected from statistical weights. Also, the Cl+ arrival-time spectra show that most of the energy available in the photolysis is converted into kinetic energy of the photofragments.
