Branching ratio electronic

The overall OD vibrational distribution from the HOD photodissociation resembles that from the D2O photodissociation. Similarly, the OH vibrational distribution from the HOD photodissociation is similar to that from the H2O photodissociation. There are, however, notable differences for the OD products from HOD and D2O, similarly for the OH products from HOD and H2O. It is also clear that rotational temperatures are all quite cold for all OH (OD) products. From the above experimental results, the branching ratio of the H and D product channels from the HOD photodissociation can be estimated, since the mixed sample of H2O and D2O with 1 1 ratio can quickly reach equilibrium with the exact ratios of H2O, HOD and D2O known to be 1 2 1. Because the absorption spectrum of H2O at 157nm is a broadband transition, we can reasonably assume that the absorption cross-sections are the same for the three water isotopomer molecules. It is also quite obvious that the quantum yield of these molecules at 157 nm excitation should be unity since the A1B surface is purely repulsive and is not coupled to any other electronic surfaces. From the above measurement of the H-atom products from the mixed sample, the ratio of the H-atom products from HOD and H2O is determined to be 1.27. If we assume the quantum yield for H2O at 157 is unity, the quantum yield for the H production should be 0.64 (i.e. 1.27 divided by 2) since the HOD concentration is twice that of H2O in the mixed sample. Similarly, from the above measurement of the D-atom product from the mixed sample, we can actually determine the ratio of the D-atom products from HOD and D2O to be 0.52. Using the same assumption that the quantum yield of the D2O photodissociation at 157 nm is unity, the quantum yield of the D-atom production from the HOD photodissociation at 157 nm is determined to be 0.26. Therefore the total quantum yield for the H and D products from HOD is 0.64 + 0.26 = 0.90. This is a little bit smaller ( 10%) than 1 since the total quantum yield of the H and D productions from the HOD photodissociation should be unity because no other dissociation channel is present for the HOD photodissociation other than the H and D atom elimination processes. There are a couple of sources of error, however, in this estimation (a) the assumption that the absorption cross-sections of all three water isotopomers at 157 nm are exactly the same, and (b) the accuracy of the volume mixture in the... [Pg.103]

The nature of the electronic state accessed can also influence branching ratios for products but within a given electronic state statement 4 will prevail. [Pg.100]

Because the AIMS method associates a unique nuclear wavefunction with each electronic state, one has direct access to dynamical quantities on individual states. This is unlike mean-field based approaches that use only one nuclear wavefunction for all electronic states [59]. One can therefore calculate branching ratios... [Pg.463]

Mass-spectroscopic technique has also been used with non-fissile targets after pile or cyclotron bombardment to determine the mass-numbers of radioactive nuclides. In one case, the branching ratios of certain isotopes for and electron capture decay (where different elements are produced by the two routes) were determined from the amount of the stable end-products of radioactive decay, using the mass-spectrometer to identify the isotopes concerned and to correct for any stable impurities of the elements concerned (98). For some purposes, mass-spectroscopic separations could be very valuable technically such as the... [Pg.13]

Subtle electronic effects were also observed for the Sasol ligands, as in the series X = CN, Ph, OBz, Me a decrease in the rate of reaction was found while the linearity followed the reverse trend the better donor gives the highest linear to branched ratio (4.9, very similar to the best Shell catalyst 170 °C, 85 bar). As the authors remarked, this is not an intrinsic ligand effect on the reaction it is a measure of the amount of phosphine-free catalyst 5 that is present in the equilibrium. Thus the weaker donor ligands give more 5 and thus a higher rate and a lower l b ratio. This was supported by IR and NMR measurements. [Pg.137]

The branching ratio between autodetachment and electron transfer governs the yield of strand breaks. In Figure 13, we show a qualitative depiction of the energy surfaces involved in this class of electron-transfer processes. [Pg.180]
