The predissociation dynamics of B Rydberg state of methyl iodide has been studied with femtosecond two-color pump-probe time-of-flight spectra at pump pulse of 400nm and probe pulse 800 nm. The dominant product channels are the CH3I+ and CH3+ formation. The time-dependent signals for CH3I+ and CH3+ ions are obtained. Both of the signal curves can be fitted by biexponential decays with time constants of O 1 and O 2, O 1 was assigned to the lifetimes of high Rydberg states, which can be accessed by absorbing three 400 nm pump pulses and O 2 reflects the dynamics of B Rydberg state, which is accessed with two pump pulses. The lifetime of B Rydberg state is determined to be about 1.57 ps, which is incredibly consistent with the previous studies. The results were interpreted as a multiphoton dissociative ionization processes.
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.
