Primary processes in the photolysis of n-butane with 8.4 and 10.0 eV photons

Nonadiabatic Photodissociation and Dehydrogenation Dynamics of n-Butyl Bromide Following p-Rydberg Excitation

“…In particular, attention has focused on techniques to synthesize long polyynes, or finite sp-hybridized carbon chains composed of alternating triple and single bonds, given expectations of extraordinary optical, mechanical, and electronic properties . Laser ablation in liquids is a well-established approach for employing high temperatures and pressures formed within a laser plasma to convert organic molecules into new high-value products, including linear carbon chains. , Numerous reports of photoexcited H 2 elimination reactions exist in the literature for gas phase organic neutral − and ionic − molecules. H 2 production is complicated, as it requires two CH dissociations and formation of a new HH bond.…”
