Photofragment translational spectroscopy of CBrClF2 at 157.6 nm was carried out using a crossed laser-molecular beams technique. Detected species are Br, Cl and CF2. From the analyses of time-of-flight (TOF) spectra for these three species, the molecules were found to dissociate competitively through CBrF2+Cl, CClF2+Br, and CF2+Br+Cl channels with the branching ratio of 1.0:1.6(-0.22)(+0.13):0.87(-0.18)(+0.13). All of the CClF2 and CBrF2 radicals were found to dissociate spontaneously to produce Cl or Br+CF2, respectively. The angular distributions of these secondary products were found to be anisotropic. These fast secondary reactions are discussed on the basis of the calculated dissociation rates and rotational frequencies. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
