Abstract
The photodissociation dynamics of trichloroethylene was investigated near 235 nm ππ transition by detecting the nascent products Cl 2P3/2 and Cl 2P1/2 via 2 + 1 resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization The photofragment speed distribution the recoil anisotropy parameter β and the spin–orbit branching ratio for chlorine atom elimination channels were determined from time of flight profiles in polarization experiments Based on the dynamical information the features of potential energy surface along the reaction coordinate were discussedThe authors wish to thank Drs PN Bajaj SK Sarkar and T Mukherjee for their constant guidance and keen interest throughout this work The authors also acknowledge the initial help during experiments rendered by Mr Yogesh Indulkar and Ms Monali Kawade
