Unraveling complex three-body dissociation dynamics by femtosecond time-resolved photofragment translational spectroscopy. PG - 6818-29 AB - As a continuation of the preceding paper in this issue (J. Phys. Chem. A 2005, 109, 6805), we studied photodissociation dynamics of the acetone S2 (n, 3s) Rydberg state excited at 195 nm using femtosecond time-resolved photofragment translational spectroscopy. The technique, which is implemented by the combination of fs pump-probe ionization spectroscopy and kinetic energy resolved time-of-flight mass spectrometry (KETOF), measured temporal evolutions of the product kinetic energy distributions (KEDs) with a time resolution limited only by the laser pulse widths. Two methyl product KED components were resolved and assigned to the primary and secondary methyl products on the basis of their temporal behaviors. The results support the mechanism in which the primary dissociation occurs on the acetone S1 surface and provide complementary dynamical information to that discussed in the preceding paper.
