Two HCI-Elimination Channels and Two CO-Formation Channels Detected with Time-Resolved Infrared Emission upon Photolysis of Acryloyl Chloride [CH2CHC(O)Cl] at 193 nm
Following photodissociation of gaseous acryloyl chloride, CH2CHC(O)Cl, at 193 nm, temporally resolved vibration-rotational emission spectra of HCl (v <= 7, J <= 35) in region 2350-3250 cm(-1) and of CO (v <= 4, J <= 67) in region 1865-2300 cm(-1) were recorded with a step-scan Fourier-transform spectrometer. The HCl emission shows a minor low-J component for v <= 4 with average rotational energy E-rot = 9 +/- 3 kJ mol(-1) and vibrational energy E-vib = 28 +/- 7 kJ mol(-1) and a major high-J component for v <= 7 with average rotational energy E-rot = 36 +/- 6 kJ mol(-1) and vibrational energy E-vib = 49 +/- 9 kJ mol(-1); the branching ratio of these two channels is similar to 0.2:0.8. Using electronic structure calculations to characterize the transition states and each intrinsic reaction coordinate, we find that the minor pathway corresponds to the four-center HCl-elimination of CH2ClCHCO following a 1,3-Cl-shift of CH2CHC(O)Cl, whereas the major pathway corresponds to the direct four-center HCl-elimination of CH2CHC(O)Cl. Although several channels are expected for CO produced from the secondary dissociation of C2H3CO and H2C=C=C=O, each produced from two possible dissociation channels of CH2CHC(O)Cl, the CO emission shows a near-Boltzmann rotational distribution with average rotational energy E-rot = 21 +/- 4 kJ mol(-1) and average vibrational energy E-vib = 10 +/- 4 kJ mol(-1). Consideration of the branching fractions suggests that the CO observed with greater vibrational excitation might result from secondary decomposition of H2C=C=C=O that was produced via the minor low-J HCl-elimination channel, while the internal state distributions of CO produced from the other three channels are indistinguishable. We also introduce a method for choosing the correct point along the intrinsic reaction coordinate for a roaming HCl elimination channel to generate a Franck-Condon prediction for the HCl vibrational energy.
