Rd. Mcalpine et al., INFRARED MULTIPHOTON DECOMPOSITION OF HIGHLY EXCITED T-BUTYL CHLORIDE-D(9), International journal of chemical kinetics, 26(2), 1994, pp. 247-257
The infrared multiphoton decomposition (IR MPD) of t-butyl chloride-d9
as a function of pressure and fluence is reported. The major decompos
ition route was molecular elimination of DCl in accord with earlier py
rolysis studies. The effect of added gases (2-methyl propene-d8, DCl a
nd 2-methyl propene-h8) on the MPD is presented. This study is a furth
er example of the utility of a new method of analysis of MPD experimen
