Nature of S2 State
• Higher in energy than S1
– lmax ~ 210 nm
• Repulsive surface– Direct dissociation S2

Molecule
• Synthesized in the lab• Expect a parallel transition to excite
to the S2 state

Initial Dissociation Results
• High speed NO photofragment– >2000 m/s
• Parallel dissociation– NO velocity aligned with the linear polarization of
the laser

Two Speed Distributions
• Photofragment translational energy difference in energy is ~ 2100 cm-1

Conclusions
• The S2 state dissociation is direct• Two NO photofragment translational energies
at lower J”• CH3O carries away at least 12,000 cm-1
• The vector correlations hint that m||vj
