Abstract

Methyl iodide ions are prepared in the 2Π1/2 and 2Π3/2 spin states by multiphoton ionization. Resonant enhancement via low-lying Rydberg states is used to produce ions in a controlled, narrow distribution of vibrational levels as shown by the photoelectron spectra obtained at the selected ionization wavelengths. The photodissociation spectra of CH3I+ and CD3I+ are obtained in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer and analyzed to obtain the vibrational constants for X̃ and à states and the spin-orbit splitting of the X̃ state.
