Photodissociation dynamics of iodocyclohexane upon UV excitation by femtosecond pump-probe technique
The photodissociation dynamics of iodocyclohexane in the A-band and C-state have been investigated by femtosecond time-resolved time-of-flight mass spectroscopy. lodocyclohexane was pumped by 266 nm pulse to its A-band. The following dissociation dynamics is prompt and direct. The time it takes for the progression of the wave packet from the dissociative state to the dissociating asymptotic region is around 180 fs. The C-state was excited by 200 nm pump pulse and it has predissociative character with predissociation time of about 600 fs, which may have contributions from multiple vibrational modes.
