ISOMERIZATION OF CH$_2$Cl-I TO CH$_2$ClI IN CRYOGENIC MATRICES: A STUDY ON ULTRAFAST TIMESCALE

Abstract

We follow up on the previous talk on ultrafast timescale studies of the isomerization between CH$_2$ClI and CH$_2$Cl-I in cryogenic matrices. We establish a population of CH$_2$Cl-I in cryogenic matrices and then pump the two lowest electronic absorption features of CH$_2$Cl-I near 435 nm and 800 nm. Then we study the formation of CH$_2$ClI and CH$_2$Cl-I by probing electronic absorption features of both isomers.
