“…A number of possible dissociation pathways of the nitrobenzene or its molecular ion have been the main motivation for such research efforts. To understand the dynamics and mechanism of the nitrobenzene ion dissociation, various experimental techniques have been employed such as photoelectron-photoion-coincidence (PEPICO) spectrometry, − laser photodissociation, − infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD), , and conventional mass spectrometry. − Also, the experimental rate constant and kinetic energy release data have been compared with theoretical predictions based on statistical theories such as Rice−Ramsperger−Kassel−Marcus (RRKM) theory, which is equivalent to quasi-equilibrium theory (QET or RRKM-QET) in ionic field and phase space theory …”
