Dynamics of H2 elimination from cyclohexadiene

Article abstract of DOI:10.1063/1.461487

A comprehensive study of the dynamics of H2 elimination from 1,4 and 1,3 cyclohexadiene is reported.Rotational and vibrational quantum state distributions as well as translation energy distributions for the H2 product are measured.State specific detection of H2 is accomplished with a transform limited vacuum ultraviolet-extreme ultraviolet laser system via (1+1) resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI).Rate constants for the H2 elimination and 1,4 to 1,3 isomerization reactions are derived.A (v,J) correlation for H2 with v<*>J primarily is observed from anisotropy in the Doppler profiles.A clear picture of the transition state configuration of 1,4 cyclohexadiene is provided from the information obtained.
