Kurzfassung:
We have reinvestigated the photodissociation dynamics of the phenyl radical at 248 nm and 193 nm via photofragment translational spectroscopy under a variety of experimental conditions aimed at reducing the nascent internal energy of the phenyl radical and eliminating signal from contaminants. Under these optimized conditions, slower translational energy (P(ET)) distributions for H-atom loss were seen at both wavelengths than in previously reported work. At 193 nm, the branching ratio for C2H2 loss vs. H-atom loss was found to be 0.2 ± 0.1, a significantly lower value than was obtained previously in our laboratory. The new branching ratio agrees with calculated Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus rate constants, suggesting that the photodissociation of the phenyl radical at 193 nm can be treated using statistical models. The effects of experimental conditions on the P(ET) distributions and product branching ratios are discussed.
