Abstract
Submonolayers of methyl bromide and hydrogen were coadsorbed on a 25 K Pt(111) surface and laser irradiated at 308 nm. Photoinduced dissociative electron attachment of methyl bromide produced energetic methyl radicals that reacted with hydrogen to form methane. The photoreaction dynamics is discussed.Keywords
