Probing the nature of the K-rotor in unimolecular reactions: Scalar and vector correlations in the photodissociation of NCNO Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The photodissociation of NCNO at 520 and 532 nm was examined using transient frequency modulation Doppler spectroscopy in order to study vector and scalar correlations in the dissociation. A small correlation between v and J was observed corresponding to 00(22) bipolar moments ranging from 0.000.02 to -0.030.02 at 532 nm and 0.000.02 to -0.010.02 at 520 nm. These were well described by a helicity unrestricted PST formulation at both wavelengths.
