Abstract

It is well known that NO is one of the main fragments produced by photodissociation of o-nitrotoluene. We detected vibrationally-excited NO in ground and electronically excited states using LIF. We also observed emission due to the formation of C(I) which is overlapping with NO emission. In the presence of N2, longer lifetime of the NO emission is observed showing evidence of energy transfer from highly excited N2. In the presence of Ar, evidence of o-nitrotoluene-Ar cluster formation was observed.
