Photodissociation of cyclobutyl bromide at 234 nm studied using velocity map imaging

The 234 nm photodissociation dynamics of cyclobutyl bromide is investigated using a two-dimensional photofragment velocity imaging technique. The measured recoil kinetic energies of the c-C4H7 radicals may be stable due to fraction of the internal energy partitioned to rotational energy of the radicals, which is partitioned to rotational energy of the radicals.
