Abstract
The photodissociation dynamics of glyoxal have been of special interest in recent years because of the possibility that a single transition state leads to three molecular products; 2CO + H2. Previous experiments with glyoxal directly show the presence of two dissociation channels yielding H2CO + CO and HCOH + CO and data consistent with the existence of the 2CO + H2 channel mentioned above. CO is a common product of all three channels. The CO energy distribution was measured in previous work by our group.
