摘要
Vacuum ultraviolet(VUV)photodissociation dynamics of carbonyl sulfide was investigated experimentally by using a tunable photolysis light source and the timesliced velocity map ion imaging technique.Ion images of S(^(3)P_(J=2,1,0))dissociation products were measured at five photolysis wavelengths from 133.26 nm to 139.96 nm,corresponding to the F Rydberg state of OCS.Two dissociation channels:S(^(3)P_(J))+CO(X^(1)Σ+)and S(^(3)P_(J))+CO(A^(3)Π)were observed with the former being dominant.The vibrational states of CO co-products were partially resolved in the ion images.The product total kinetic energy releases,anisotropy parameters(β),and the branching ratios of high-lying CO vibrational states were determined for the S(^(3)P_(J))+CO(X^(1)Σ^(+))channel.We found that the anisotropy parameters suddenly changed from negative to positive when OCS was excited to the higher vibrational levels of the F state.Furthermore,the anisotropy parameters for S(^(3)P_(J))products of J=2,1,0 were even different.These anomalous phenomena may result from the simultaneous existence of both parallel and perpendicular dissociation mechanisms,suggesting the involvement of other electronic states with different symmetry in the initially-excited energy region.This work provides a further understanding of the nonadiabatic couplings in the VUV photodissociation process of OCS.
