Tunable UV laser photolysis of NF2: Quantum yield for NF(a1Δ) production

Article abstract of DOI:10.1063/1.453262

The UV photodissociation of NF2 has been investigated frorn 240-270 nm, using tunable UV radiation from a frequency upconverted YAG pumped dye laser system.The absorption cross section of NF2, and the photolysis quantum yield for the fragment NF(a¹Δ) were measured with 0.25 cm^-1 resolution.The NF(a¹Δ) quantum yield decreases at longer wavelengths and is only 1 percent at 260 nm.This suggests that the first long wavelength band in NF2 leads primarily to ground state NF(X³Σ), and that the existence of a new higher lying NF2 electronic state is responsible for the NF(a¹Δ) production.
