Abstract

Laser induced fluorescence (LIF) detection of highly vibrationally excited O₂ resulting from visible photolysis of pure O₃ is attributed to the title reaction. The vibrational and rotational energy distributions as well as Doppler profiles of selected product states of the nascent O₂ were obtained. Predictions of quasiclassical trajectory calculations on the "Varandas-Pais" potential energy surface (l) are inconsistent with observation. This points out the need for a more accurate ab initia study of this important reaction. The implications for nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium chemistry in the stratosphere are discussed.
