OSTI ID:5712618

The processes resulting in the intramolecular redistribution of energy in electronically excited S/sub ..pi pi..*/ states of dibenzyl ketone and benzil molecules have been investigated by laser mass spectrometry. The decisive role of dissociation under the conditions of the resonance stepwise photoionization of these molecules upon excitation by radiation with lambda = 266 nm has been demonstrated. The ionization potentials of the molecules and the appearance potentials of fragment ions from dibenzyl ketone and benzil have been determined on the basis of an analysis of photoionization efficiency curves.
