Quantum yield of chlorine-atom formation in the photodissociation of chlorine peroxide (ClOOCl) at 308 nm (Reprinted from Chemical Physics Letters)
The production of Cl atoms in the laser flash photolysis of ClOOCl at 308 nm has been investigated by time-resolved atomic resonance fluorescence at 235 K. A value of phi = 1.03 +/- 0.12 has been obtained for the primary quantum yield based on an absorption cross section ratio sigma(245)/sigma(308) = 22 for ClOOCl at 245 and 308 nm.
