Dihalomethanes
XCH2Y (X and Y = F, Cl, Br, and I) are a class of compounds
involved in several processes leading to the release of halogen atoms,
ozone consumption, and aerosol particle formation. Neutral dihalomethanes
have been largely studied, but chemical physics properties and processes
involving their radical ions, like the pathways of their decomposition,
have not been completely investigated. In this work the photodissociation
dynamics of the ClCH2I molecule has been explored in the
photon energy range 9–21 eV using both VUV rare gas discharge
lamps and synchrotron radiation. The experiments show that, among
the different fragment ions, CH2I+ and CH2Cl+, which correspond to the Cl- and I-losses,
respectively, play a dominant role. The experimental ionization energy
of ClCH2I and the appearance energies of the CH2I+ and CH2Cl+ ions are in agreement
with the theoretical results obtained at the MP2/CCSD(T) level of
theory. Computational investigations have been also performed to study
the isomerization of geminal [ClCH2I]•+ into the iso-chloroiodomethane isomers: [CH2I–Cl]•+ and [CH2Cl–I]•+.

Abstract
The photodissociation dynamics of ICH2Cl → CH2Cl + I*/I at 304 and 277 nm has been investigated with our mini-TOF photofragment translational spectrometer with a weak acceleration field of <1 V cm(-1). Many peaks are resolved or partially resolved in the TOF spectra and the photofragment translational spectra (PTS) of both the I*((2)P1/2) channel and the I((2)P3/2) channel. These resolved peaks are assigned to the C-Cl stretch vibrational states of the CH2Cl fragment. The rotational energy ER of the CH2Cl fragment is highly excited due to its asymmetric structure. The value of ER/ET is measured to be about 0.71. In the I* channel, the partitioning of the available energy Eavl into the translational energy ET, the rotational energy ER, and the vibrational energy EV for each resolved vibrational state has been calculated.
