In this paper, we present I*(P-2(1/2)) quantum yield, phi* from the gas phase photodissociation of a series of perfluoroalkyl iodides at three different wavelengths 266, 280, and similar to 305 nm. The iodine atoms in the ground I(P-2(3/2)) and spin-orbit excited I-*(P-2(1/2)) states were monitored directly by a two photon laser induced fluorescence scheme. The I-* quantum yields for the fluorinated alkyl iodides are found to be much higher than their corresponding alkyl iodide analogs over the entire A band. However, phi* remains more or less unchanged as a function of photolysis wavelength for the perfluoroalkyl iodides with the exception of CF3I in which it drops monotonically as a function of wavelength. Unlike in normal alkyl iodides, branching at the alpha position does not affect the phi* in perfluoroalkyl iodides. The prediction of I* yield using the one dimensional Landau-Zener soft-radical-impulse model is opposite to what is seen from our measurements. In all the fluorinated alkyl iodides, the CF3 in-plane rocking mode which can take the initially excited (3)Q(0) state to the (1)Q(1) state through the crossing region appears to be weakly coupled to the C-I stretch resulting in low yield of I atom in the dissociation process.
