Photodissociation of azulene-Kr van der Waals clusters at 266 and 248 nm was studied using velocity map ion imaging techniques with the time-sliced modification. Scattered azulene molecules produced from the dissociation of clusters were detected by one-photon vacuum ultraviolet ionization. Energy transfer distribution functions were obtained from the measurement of recoil energy distributions. The distribution functions can be described approximately by multiexponential functions. Fragment angular distributions were found to be isotropic. The energy transfer properties show significantly different behavior from those of bimolecular collisions. No supercollisions were observed under the signal-to-noise ratios S/N=400 and 100 at 266 and 248 nm, respectively. Comparisons with the energy transfer of bimolecular collisions in thermal systems and the crossed-beam experiment within detection limit are made.
