Abstract

An experimental method has been developed to study photodissociation kinetics for polyatomic ions on a nanosecond time scale. Details of the method are described. The method has been applied to the photodissociation of the p-nitrotoluene molecular ion. Experimental rate constants were in good agreement with the Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus (RRKM) calculation. Kinetic energy release of the photodissociation was also investigated. The experimental kinetic energy release distribution could be well explained by phase space theory.
