PG - 8344-8353 LID - 10.1021/acs.jpca.8b07012 [doi] AB - Iodine monochloride (ICl) elimination from one-photon dissociation of CH(2)ICl at 248 nm is monitored by cavity ring-down absorption spectroscopy (CRDS). The spectrum of ICl is acquired in the transition of B(3)Pi(0) <-- X(1)Sigma(+) and is confirmed to result from a primary photodissociation, that is, CH(2)ICl + hnu --> CH(2) + ICl. The vibrational population ratio is determined with the aid of spectral simulation to be 1:(0.36 +/- 0.10):(0.11 +/- 0.05) for the vibrational levels nu = 0, 1, and 2 in the ground electronic state, corresponding to a Boltzmann-like vibrational temperature of 535 +/- 69 K. The quantum yield of the ICl molecular channel for the reaction is obtained to be 0.052 +/- 0.026 using a relative method in which the scheme CH(2)Br(2) --> CH(2) + Br(2) is adopted as the reference reaction. The ICl product contributed by the secondary collisions is minimized such that its quantum yield obtained is not overestimated. With the aid of the CCSD(T)//B3LYP/MIDI! level of theory, the ICl elimination from CH(2)ICl is evaluated to follow three pathways via either (1) a three-center transition state or (2) two isomerization transition states. However, the three-center concerted mechanism is verified to be unfavorable.
