The cationic and anionic fragmentation of dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) molecule have been investigated in the energy range of the Cl K shell by using synchrotron radiation, ion yield spectroscopy, and electron-ion coincidence spectroscopy. Total and partial ion-yield and mass spectra have been recorded as a function of the photon energy. We were able to identify several singly and multiply charged cationic fragments and the following anionic species: H-; C-; Cl-. The present results provide the first experimental report of negative ion formation from a molecule excited at the Cl 1s edge. In addition, our electron-ion coincidence data provide strong evidence of the preservation of molecular alignment for the photodissociation of CH2Cl2 after deep core-electron resonant excitation.

HgBrOOH, and HgBrOH reduces oxidized Hg I,II to Hg 0 directly (38%) and indirectly (62%) ( 24)" should instead appear as "photolysis of syn-HgBrONO, HgBrOOH, and HgBrOH reduces oxidized Hg I,II to Hg 0 directly (38%) and indirectly (62%) (25)." The online version has been corrected.
