Abstract
The state-selective photodissociation of methylnitrite CH30NO(So,v) + hv -+ CH30- + NO(t,r,v) is reviewed and the dynamics of the bond-breaking process is analysed in connection with an ab initio S1-potential energy surface of the parent molecule. Experimental and theoretical results reveal an in- teresting picture of the dissociation path of a polyatomic molecule which decays by vibrational predissociation and a strong exit channel interaction.Keywords
