Photodissociation of acetaldehyde at 205Â nm: The H atom channels

Photodissociation dynamics of acetaldehyde (H3CCOH) at 205 nm has been investigated by measuring laser induced fluorescence spectra of H (2S) especially for the hydrogen atom production channels, from which translational energy releases were measured. The detailed dissociation dynamics were discussed from the measured translational energy releases and the channel branching ratio.
