Abstract

Following near-uv excitation of gas-phase acetic acid-d, nascent OD photofragments have been probed using laser fluorescence excitation. The partially deuterated parent species was chosen to examine the effect of moving the fragment center-of-mass away from oxygen, relative to the OH center-of-mass. Results will be compared to OH internal state distributions measured following $photolysis^{1}$ of $CH_{3}COOH$, to assess the dynamical changes resulting from isotope substitution.
