Jet cooled Laser Induced Fluorescence Spectroscopy of FCH 2 CH 2 O and other photo-fragments of XCH 2 CH 2 ONO (X=F,Cl,Br,OH) Rabi Chhantyal-Pun, Ming-Wei Chen, Terry A. Miller
2
Motivation OH substituted alkoxy radicals are important intermediate in atmospheric oxidation of alkenes like Ethene, Butadiene and Isoprene HOCH 2 CH 2 O radical is produced from OH initiated oxidation of Ethene Halogen substituted Ethoxy can be a model for the study of HOCH 2 CH 2 O radical S. Sawada and T. Totsuka, Atmos. Environ. 20, 821 (1986)
3
Spectroscopy of Alkoxy radicals ~~ Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) method has been used in the past to study the B-X transition of alkoxy radicals LIF coupled with Supersonic free jet expansion produces rotationally cold spectrum; rotational contours (obtained even with moderate resolution) can then be used to differentiate different conformers 1-Propoxy Gapolakrishnan S.

15
Conclusion Obtained and analyzed the Laser Induced Fluorescence spectrum of B-X transition of FEO radical CH 2 CHO and HCHO fragments are produced following the photodissociation of XCH 2 CH 2 ONO (X= OH, F, Cl, Br) Analysis of the mechanism for the formation of CH 2 CHO is going on ~~
