The unimolecular dissociation of I,1-dimethylhydrazine ions was studied by threshold photoelectron photoion coincidence spectroscopy (TPEPICO). Time-of-flight distributions and breakdown curves were recorded in the photon energy range of 9.5-10.4 eV. The 0 K appearance energies of the fragment ions were extracted by modeling the experimental data with rigid activated complex (RAC-) RRKM theory. It was found that the data could be well-reproduced with a single TS for each dissociation channel if two different H-loss channels were assumed, one corresponding to a C-H and the other to a N-H bond dissociation. Once the appearance energies were established, heats of formation of the fragment ions could be derived. The heat of formation of the neutral molecule was computed by applying composite ab initio methods (G3, CBS-APNO, W1U) on a series of isodesmic reactions between methyl hydrazines and methyl amines.
