The infrared multiple-photon photolysis of trans-2-butene was investigated at five CO/sub 2/ wavelengths from 942 to 1031 cm/sup -1/ and at conversions from a few percent to approximately 95%. The reaction products at 50 m Torr and fluences of approximately 125 J/cm/sup 2/ were cis-2-butene, ethylene, ethane, propylene, propyne, 1,3-butadiene, 1-butene, and 2-butyne. Relative product yields of cis-2-butene and propyne varied significantly with both wavelength and conversion. The results of an investigation of the observed product selectivity are presented.
