Abstract
Acetylene photolysis in the vuv region is known to be a good source of C2H radicals.1 Photoproduct emission in the visible region was first observed by Becker et al.2 following the photolysis of C2H2 at 123.6 nm. The emission was postulated to be from excited C2H photofragments. More recently, similar investigations on the vuv photolysis of C2H2 using a discharge lamp3 and a synchrotron light source4 have been reported. In this paper, a state-specific and time-resolved photofragmentation study of the acetlyene molecule and its isotopic derivatives will be presented.
