Abstract
Selective infrared multiphoton dissociation of13CF3Cl induced by CO2 laser pulses adjusted on\(\bar v\) = 1071.9 cm−1 has been studied in the energy rangeE between 0.5 and 2 J per laser pulse or fluence range between 5 and 25 J per cm2, and in the pressure range between 0.10 and 60 Torr. The effect of these parameters on the isotopic selectivity of the dissociation gives information on the rotational relaxation constants. As for the dissociation probabilities, they vary exponentially withE −1. The applicability of such an Arrhenius-type relation is discussed and semi-quantitatively justified.
