The dynamics of photodissociation for vibrationally pre-excited deuterated pyrrole molecules is simulated using ab initio multiple cloning (AIMC) approach. Total kinetic energy release (TKER) spectra and dissociation times are calculated. The results for pyrrole and deuterated pyrrole molecules with and without vibrational pre-excitation are compared. Calculations show that, as expected, the kinetic energy of additional dissociation fragments is lower in deuterated pyrrole and mostly located in the upper-middle part of the TKER spectrum. However, despite lower energy of dissociative bond vibrations, pre-excitation of deuterated pyrrole leads to higher dissociation yield increase than in pyrrole and significantly shortens dissociation time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
