Photofragment translational energy spectroscopy was used to study the dissociation dynamics of a range of electronically excited OClO(A (2)A(2)) vibrational states. For all levels studied, corresponding to OClO(A (2)A(2)<--X B-2(1)) excitation wavelengths between 350 and 475 nm, the dominant product (>96%) was ClO((2) Pi)+O(P-3). We also observed production of Cl+O-2 with a quantum yield of up to 3.9+/-0.8% near 404 nm, decreasing at longer and shorter wavelengths. The branching ratios between the two channels were dependent on the OClO(A (2)A(2)) excited state vibrational mode. The Cl+O-2 yield was enhanced slightly by exciting A (2)A(2) levels having symmetric stretching + bending, but diminished by as much as a factor of 10 for neighboring peaks associated with symmetric stretching+asymmetric stretching. Mode specificity was also observed in the vibrationally state resolved translational energy distributions for the dominant ClO((2) Pi)+O(P-3) channel. The photochemical dynamics of OClO possesses two energy regimes with distinctly different dynamics observed for excitation energies above and below similar to 3.1 eV (lambda similar to 400 nn). At excitation energies below 3.1 eV (lambda>400 nm), nearly all energetically accessible ClO vibrational energy levels were populated, and the minor Cl+O-2 channel was observed. Although at least 20% of the O-2 product is formed in the ground (X (3) Sigma(g)(-)) state, most O-2 is electronically excited (a (1) Delta(g)). At E<3.1 eV, both dissociation channels occur by an indirect mechanism involving two nearby excited states, (2)A(1) and B-2(2). Long dissociation time scales and significant parent bending before dissociation led to nearly isotropic polarization angular distributions (beta similar to 0). At excitation energies above 3.1 eV (lambda<400 nm), the Cl+O-2 yield began to decrease sharply, with this channel becoming negligible at lambda<370 nm. At these higher excitation energies, the ClO product was formed with relatively Little vibrational energy and a large fraction of the excess energy was channeled into ClO+O translational energy. The photofragment anisotropy parameter (beta) also increased, implying shorter dissociation time scales. The sharp change in the disposal of excess energy into the ClO products, the decrease of Cl+O-2 production, and more anisotropic product angular distributions at E>3.1 eV signify the opening of a new ClO+O channel. From our experimental results and recent ab initio calculations, dissociation at wavelengths shorter than 380 nm to ClO+O proceeds via a direct mechanism on the optically prepared A (2)A(2) surface over a large potential energy barrier. From the ClO((2) Pi)+O(P-3) translational energy distributions, D-0(O-ClO) was found to be less than or equal to 59.0+/-0.2 kcal/mol.
