Abstract
We report REMPI spectra and velocity-mapped ion images of the O2(a1Δg) and (b1Σg+) fragments arising from the spin-forbidden photodissociation of O3 near 320 and 330 nm. The O2(a1Δg, v = 0) REMPI spectrum following a 320 nm dissociation shows enhanced peak intensity for the odd rotational states relative to the even states, which is the opposite of the trend observed by Gunthardt et al. ( J. Chem. Phys. 2019, 151, 224302) for spin-allowed dissociation at 266 nm but is consistent with the couplings between the B state and 3A' and 3A″ states calculated by Grebenshchikov and Rosenwaks ( J. Phys. Chem. A 2010, 114, 9809-9819). There are no significant differences between the ion image angular distributions of fragments in odd and even rotational states, which indicates a cold distribution of O3 and supports the explanation that the alternation in peak intensities results from a difference in the couplings. Quantitative analysis of the image angular distributions was limited due to the single laser polarization geometry accessible in one-color experiments. Radial distributions of the 320 nm images indicate a broad rotational distribution, evidenced in bimodal speed distributions with peaks corresponding to both high (j = 35-43) and low (j = 17-20) rotational states. The REMPI spectrum of O2(a1Δg) near 330 nm was collected, and while quantitative population analysis is difficult because of the perturbed resonant state, the spectrum clearly supports a broad rotational distribution as well, consistent with the images collected at 320 nm. A 2D-REMPI spectrum was collected following dissociation of O3 near 330 nm, which showed evidence of contributions from O2 fragments in both the a1Δg and b1Σg+ states. The rotational distribution for the O2(b1Σg+, v = 0) product peaks at j = 32 and is narrower than that of the O2(a1Δg) fragment, consistent with distributions reported by O'Keeffe et al. at longer dissociation wavelengths ( J. Chem. Phys. 2002, 117, 8705-8709). At smaller radii in the 2D-REMPI spectrum, there is additional signal assigned to v = 1-4 of O2(b1Σg+), with rotational distributions similar to v = 0. The vibrational distribution of the O2(b1Σg+) fragment peaks at v = 0, with populations monotonically decreasing with increasing vibrational state. Ion image angular distributions of the O2(b1Σg+) fragment and the corresponding anisotropy parameters are also reported.

Abstract
We report the rotational state distribution and vector correlations of the O2(a 1Δg, v = 0) fragments arising from the 226 nm photodissociation of jet-cooled O3. Consistent with previously reported trends, the rotational distribution is shifted to higher rotational states with decreasing wavelength. We observe highly suppressed odd rotational state populations due to a strong Λ-doublet propensity. The measured rotational distribution is in agreement with classical trajectory calculations for the v = 0 products, although the distribution is slightly narrower than predicted. The spatial anisotropy follows the previously observed trend of decreasing β with increasing photon energy with β = 0.72 ± 0.14 for v = 0, j = 38. As expected for a triatomic molecule, the v-j correlation is consistent with v perpendicular to j, but the measured correlation is nonlimiting due, in part, to rotational and translational depolarization. The j-dependent line width of the O2(a 1Δg) REMPI spectrum is also discussed in connection with the lifetime of the resonant O2(d 1Πg) state due to predissociation via the II 1Πg valence state.

Origin of the "odd" behavior in the ultraviolet photochemistry of ozone. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2020; 117:21065-21069.

Abstract
The origin of the even-odd rotational state population alternation in the 16O2(a 1Δg) fragments resulting from the ultraviolet (UV) photodissociation of 16O3, a phenomenon first observed over 30 years ago, has been elucidated using full quantum theory. The calculated 16O2(a 1Δg) rotational state distribution following the 266-nm photolysis of 60 K ozone shows a strong even-odd propensity, in excellent agreement with the new experimental rotational state distribution measured under the same conditions. Theory indicates that the even rotational states are significantly more populated than the adjacent odd rotational states because of a preference for the formation of the A' Λ-doublet, which can only occupy even rotational states due to the exchange symmetry of the two bosonic 16O nuclei, and thus not as a result of parity-selective curve crossing as previously proposed. For nonrotating ozone, its dissociation on the excited B1A' state dictates that only A' Λ-doublets are populated, due to symmetry conservation. This selection rule is relaxed for rotating parent molecules, but a preference still persists for A' Λ-doublets. The A''/A' ratio increases with increasing ozone rotational quantum number, and thus with increasing temperature, explaining the previously observed temperature dependence of the even-odd population alternation. In light of these results, it is concluded that the previously proposed parity-selective curve-crossing mechanism cannot be a source of heavy isotopic enrichment in the atmosphere.

Abstract
We report the first experimental detection of the laser-induced formation dynamics of OH under normal pressure, which was observed using the pump-probe scheme with two 250 fs laser pulses at 282.2 nm. The first laser photolyzes O3 to form OH, and the second laser excites OH to induce fluorescence at 308 nm. The fluorescence cannot be detected with a single beam because the femtosecond pulses have already passed through the sample before the formation of OH from their own photolysis. A photochemical dynamic model was built, and the experimental results are in good agreement with the model. This method can also be used for other OH-related dynamic measurements, which can effectively avoid laser-generated interference from the photolysis of O3.

Model of Daytime Oxygen Emissions in the Mesopause Region and Above: A Review and New Results. ATMOSPHERE 2020.

Abstract
Atmospheric emissions of atomic and molecular oxygen have been observed since the middle of 19th century. In the last decades, it has been shown that emissions of excited oxygen atom O(1D) and molecular oxygen in electronically–vibrationally excited states O2(b1Σ+g, v) and O2(a1Δg, v) are related by a unified photochemical mechanism in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT). The current paper consists of two parts: a review of studies related to the development of the model of ozone and molecular oxygen photodissociation in the daytime MLT and new results. In particular, the paper includes a detailed description of formation mechanism for excited oxygen components in the daytime MLT and presents comparison of widely used photochemical models. The paper also demonstrates new results such as new suggestions about possible products for collisional reactions of electronically–vibrationally excited oxygen molecules with atomic oxygen and new estimations of O2(b1Σ+g, v = 0–10) radiative lifetimes which are necessary for solving inverse problems in the lower thermosphere. Moreover, special attention is given to the “Barth’s mechanism” in order to demonstrate that for different sets of fitting coefficients its contribution to O2(b1Σ+g, v) and O2(a1Δg, v) population is neglectable in daytime conditions. In addition to the review and new results, possible applications of the daytime oxygen emissions are presented, e.g., the altitude profiles O(3P), O3 and CO2 can be retrieved by solving inverse photochemical problems when emissions from electronically vibrationally excited states of O2 molecule are used as proxies.

Abstract
The photodissociation of O3 at 266 nm has been studied using velocity mapped ion imaging. We report temperature-dependent vector correlations for the O2(a1Δg, v = 0, j = 18-20) fragments at molecular beam temperatures of 70 K, 115 K, and 170 K. Both the fragment spatial anisotropy and the v-j correlations are found to be increasingly depolarized with increasing beam temperature. At all temperatures, the v-j correlations for the j = 19 state were shown to be reduced compared to those of j = 18 and 20, while no such odd/even rotational state difference was observed for the spatial anisotropy, consistent with previous measurements. We find that temperature-dependent differences in the populations and v-j correlations between the odd and even rotational states can be explained by a Λ-doublet propensity model. Although symmetry conservation should lead to formation of only the A' Λ-doublet component, and only even rotational states, out-of-plane rotation of the parent molecule breaks the planar symmetry and permits the formation of the A″ Λ-doublet component and odd rotational states. A simple classical model to treat the effect of parent rotation on the v-j correlation and the odd/even rotational population alternation reproduces both the current measurements and previously reported rotational distributions, suggesting that the "odd" behavior originates from a Λ-doublet propensity, and not from a mass independent curve crossing effect, as previously proposed.

Abstract
Photofragment imaging is shown to provide a sensitive method for detection of the O2 A'3Δu Herzberg III state using a one-laser dissociation/O(1D) resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) scheme with a focused nanosecond dye laser beam tuned to 203.8 or 205.2 nm, combined with velocity map imaging of the atomic oxygen photofragment. O2 populated in the Herzberg states is generated by photodesorption at 250 nm of solid O2 ice held at 15 K and by an electric discharge in a pulsed molecular beam of pure O2. Ice photo-desorption results in Herzberg state products with higher translational, vibrational and rotational energy spreads, yielding the same signal as the discharge source but with lower velocity resolution. A clear signal with parallel character (β ∼ 0.9) assigned to dissociation of O2 A'3Δu(v = 0, 1 Ω = 1) was observed when using a pulsed electric discharge source under specific 'cold' conditions with O(1D) detection, driving one-photon dissociation around 205 nm. No products corresponding to O2 A'3Δu state dissociation were observed for 225.625 or 200.32 nm dissociation with O(3P2) detection, which implies that the O2 A'3Δu state dissociates exclusively to the third (O1D + O1D) dissociation limit. Dissociation is suggested to take place through the 21Πg upper state to the O1D + O1D limit where spin-orbit coupling of the A'3Δu state with the 11Πu state accesses the allowed parallel 1Πu → 1Πg transition. While the absence of a parallel-type photodissociation signal from the c1Σ-u state may be expected, the A3Σ+u should spin-orbit couple through the same pathway as the A'3Δu state. The fact that no clear A3Σ+u signal is observed suggests a faster deactivation process compared to the A'3Δu state in the discharge and ice desorption process.

Abstract
We present a direct determination of photofragment alignment produced by circularly polarized light in photolysis of a planar polyatomic molecule. This alignment arises via a new mechanism involving coherent excitation of two mutually perpendicular in-plane transition dipole moment components. The alignment is described by a new anisotropy parameter γ_{2}^{'} that was isolated by a unique laser polarization geometry. The determination of the parameter γ_{2}^{'} was realized in ozone photolysis at 266 nm where dc slice images of O(^{1}D_{2}) atomic fragments were acquired. A model developed for interpretation of the photolysis mechanism shows that it can exist only in case of failure of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation when electronic and vibrational (vibronic) interactions have to be taken into account. This finding suggests that determination of the alignment parameter γ_{2}^{'} can be used as a key for direct insight into vibronic interactions in photolysis of polyatomic molecules. The results obtained for ozone photolysis via the Hartley band showed significant γ_{2}^{'} alignment but little recoil speed dependence, consistent with the notion that, as opposed to the situation for derivative coupling, under our experimental conditions, the vibronic contributions to the nonadiabatic dynamics are not dependent on recoil speed.

Abstract
Photodissociation studies in molecular beams that employ position-sensitive particle detection to map product recoil velocities emerged thirty years ago and continue to evolve with new laser and detector technologies. These powerful methods allow application of tunable laser detection of single product quantum states, simultaneous measurement of velocity and angular momentum polarization, measurement of joint product state distributions for the detected and undetected products, coincident detection of multiple product channels, and application to radicals and ions as well as closed-shell molecules. These studies have permitted deep investigation of photochemical dynamics for a broad range of systems, revealed new reaction mechanisms, and addressed problems of practical importance in atmospheric, combustion, and interstellar chemistry. This review presents an historical overview, a detailed technical account of the range of methods employed, and selected experimental highlights illustrating the capabilities of the method.

Abstract
We report rotational distributions for the O2 (a 1Δg) fragment from the photodissociation of jet-cooled O3 at 248, 266, and 282 nm. The rotational distributions show a population alternation that favors the even states, as previously reported for a 300 K sample by Valentini et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 86, 6745 (1987)]. The alternation from the jet-cooled precursor is much stronger than that observed by Valentini et al. and in contrast to their observations does not depend strongly on the O2 (a 1Δg) vibrational state or photolysis wavelength. The odd/even alternation diminishes substantially when the ozone beam temperature is increased from 60 to 200 K, confirming its dependence on parent internal energy. The magnitude of the even/odd alternation in product rotational states from the cold ozone sample, its temperature dependence, and other experimental and theoretical evidence reported since 1987 suggest that the alternation originates from a Λ-doublet propensity and not from a mass independent curve crossing effect, as previously proposed.

Abstract
Photodissociation of ozone in the near UV is studied quantum mechanically in two excited electronic states coupled at a conical intersection located outside the Franck-Condon zone. The calculations, performed using recent ab initio PESs, provide an accurate description of the photodissociation dynamics across the Hartley/Huggins absorption bands. The observed photofragment distributions are reproduced in the two electronic dissociation channels. The room temperature absorption spectrum, constructed as a Boltzmann average of many absorption spectra of rotationally excited parent ozone, agrees with experiment in terms of widths and intensities of diffuse structures. The exit channel conical intersection contributes to the coherent broadening of the absorption spectrum and directly affects the product vibrational and translational distributions. The photon energy dependences of these distributions are strikingly different for fragments created along the adiabatic and the diabatic paths through the intersection. They can be used to reverse engineer the most probable geometry of the non-adiabatic transition. The angular distributions, quantified in terms of the anisotropy parameter β, are substantially different in the two channels due to a strong anticorrelation between β and the rotational angular momentum of the fragment O2.

Abstract
In this paper, we have calculated the rotational state distributions following the photodissociation of ozone in the Hartley band with total angular momentum J'=1. The calculated results are obtained by using time-dependent wave packet calculations on the Sheppard–Walker potential energy surface (PES). It is found that the physically more correct treatment with J'=1 semi-quantitatively reproduces the rotational state distributions of the CARS. Compared with the previous theoretical works, which had taken J=0 on both the ground and excited potential surface, J'=1 treatment makes the rotational distributions of the fragment closer to the experimental ones.

Abstract
Laboratory measurements are reported of the rate coefficient for collisional removal of O(2)(X(3)Σ(g)(-), υ = 1) by O((3)P), and the rate coefficients for removal of O(2)(a(1)Δ(g), υ = 1) by O(2), CO(2), and O((3)P). A two-laser method is employed, in which the pulsed output of the first laser at 285 nm photolyzes ozone to produce oxygen atoms and O(2)(a(1)Δ(g), υ = 1), and the output of the second laser detects O(2)(a(1)Δ(g), υ = 1) via resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization. The kinetics of O(2)(X(3)Σ(g)(-), υ = 1) + O((3)P) relaxation is inferred from the temporal evolution of O(2)(a(1)Δ(g), υ = 1), an approach enabled by the rapid collision-induced equilibration of the O(2)(X(3)Σ(g)(-), υ = 1) and O(2)(a(1)Δ(g), υ = 1) populations in the system. The measured O(2)(X(3)Σ(g)(-), υ = 1) + O((3)P) rate coefficient is (2.9 ± 0.6) × 10(-12) cm(3) s(-1) at 295 K and (3.4 ± 0.6) × 10(-12) cm(3) s(-1) at 240 K. These values are consistent with the previously reported result of (3.2 ± 1.0) × 10(-12) cm(3) s(-1), which was obtained at 315 K using a different experimental approach [K. S. Kalogerakis, R. A. Copeland, and T. G. Slanger, J. Chem. Phys. 123, 194303 (2005)]. For removal of O(2)(a(1)Δ(g), υ = 1) by O((3)P), the upper limits for the rate coefficient are 4 × 10(-13) cm(3) s(-1) at 295 K and 6 × 10(-13) cm(3) s(-1) at 240 K. The rate coefficient for removal of O(2)(a(1)Δ(g), υ = 1) by O(2) is (5.6 ± 0.6) × 10(-11) cm(3) s(-1) at 295 K and (5.9 ± 0.5) × 10(-11) cm(3) s(-1) at 240 K. The O(2)(a(1)Δ(g), υ = 1) + CO(2) rate coefficient is (1.5 ± 0.2) × 10(-14) cm(3) s(-1) at 295 K and (1.2 ± 0.1) × 10(-14) cm(3) s(-1) at 240 K. The implications of the measured rate coefficients for modeling of atmospheric emissions are discussed.

Abstract
The O((1)D) + N(2)O → 2NO(X (2)Π) reaction has been studied in a molecular beam experiment in which O(3) and N(2)O were coexpanded. The precursor O((1)D) was prepared by O(3) photodissociation at 266 nm, and the NO(X (2)Π) molecules born from the reaction as the O((1)D) recoiled out of the beam were detected by 1+1 REMPI over the 220-246 nm probe laser wavelength range. The resulting spectrum was simulated to extract rotational and vibrational distributions of the NO(X (2)Π) molecules. The product rotational distribution is found to be characterized by a constant rotational temperature of ≈4500 K for all observed bands, v = 0-9. An inverted vibrational distribution is observed. A consistent explanation of this and previous experimental results is possible if there are two channels for the reaction, one producing a nearly statistical vibrational distribution for low O((1)D)-N(2)O relative velocity collisions and a second producing the inverted distribution observed here for high relative velocity collisions. The former might correspond to an insertion/complex-formation reaction, while the latter might correspond to a stripping reaction. Velocity relaxation of the O((1)D) is argued to compete strongly with reaction in most bulb studies, so that these studies see predominantly the nearly statistical distribution. In contrast, the beam experiments do not detect the part of the vibrational distribution produced in low relative velocity reactions because the O((1)D) is not relaxed from its initial velocity before it either reacts or leaves the beam.

Abstract
The stratospheric CO(2) oxygen isotope budget is thought to be governed primarily by the O((1)D)+CO(2) isotope exchange reaction. However, there is increasing evidence that other important physical processes may be occurring that standard isotopic tools have been unable to identify. Measuring the distribution of the exceedingly rare CO(2) isotopologue (16)O(13)C(18)O, in concert with (18)O and (17)O abundances, provides sensitivities to these additional processes and, thus, is a valuable test of current models. We identify a large and unexpected meridional variation in stratospheric (16)O(13)C(18)O, observed as proportions in the polar vortex that are higher than in any naturally derived CO(2) sample to date. We show, through photochemical experiments, that lower (16)O(13)C(18)O proportions observed in the midlatitudes are determined primarily by the O((1)D)+CO(2) isotope exchange reaction, which promotes a stochastic isotopologue distribution. In contrast, higher (16)O(13)C(18)O proportions in the polar vortex show correlations with long-lived stratospheric tracer and bulk isotope abundances opposite to those observed at midlatitudes and, thus, opposite to those easily explained by O((1)D)+CO(2). We believe the most plausible explanation for this meridional variation is either an unrecognized isotopic fractionation associated with the mesospheric photochemistry of CO(2) or temperature-dependent isotopic exchange on polar stratospheric clouds. Unraveling the ultimate source of stratospheric (16)O(13)C(18)O enrichments may impose additional isotopic constraints on biosphere-atmosphere carbon exchange, biosphere productivity, and their respective responses to climate change.

Abstract
The translational anisotropy and rotational angular momentum polarization of a selection of rotational states of the O2 (a 1Deltag; v=0) photofragment formed from ozone photolysis at 248, 260, and 265 nm have been determined using the technique of resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization in combination with time of flight mass spectrometry. At 248 nm, the dissociation is well described as impulsive in nature with all rotational states exhibiting similarly large, near-limiting values for the bipolar moments describing their angular momentum alignment and orientation. At 265 nm, however, the angular momentum polarization parameters determined for consecutive odd and even rotational states exhibit clear differences. Studies at the intermediate wavelength of 260 nm strongly suggest that such a difference in the angular momentum polarization is speed dependent and this proposal is consistent with the angular momentum polarization parameters extracted and reported previously for longer photolysis wavelengths [G. Hancock et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 5, 5386 (2003); S. J. Horrocks et al., J. Chem. Phys. 126, 044308 (2007)]. The alternation of angular momentum polarization for successive odd and even J states may be a consequence of the different mechanisms leading to the formation of the two O2 (a 1Deltag) Lambda doublets. Specifically, the involvement of out of plane parent rotational motion is proposed as the origin for the observed depolarization for the Delta- relative to the Delta+ state.

Abstract
A quantum treatment on ICN photodissociation from an initial perpendicular transition (Omega'=+/-1<--Omega"=0) to the asymptote CN(|Sigma+,J'M'N'1/2>)+I(2P3/2) is presented. Density matrices of both photofragments are derived and explicit expressions of the state multipoles in terms of the angular momentum coupling coefficients and the rotation-bending factors have been obtained. To perceive the physical origin of electronic angular momentum polarizations of the iodine photofragments, a correlation scheme which considers the magnetic dipolar and the electrostatic dipole-quadrupole interactions between I and CN cofragments is proposed. For ICN precursors in the vibrational ground state or in the equally populated l-type split levels, the alignment parameters of the iodine photofragments in the molecular frame can be calculated according to this long-range interaction model. For the perpendicular transition |1Pi1><--|1Sigma0+>, its alignment parameters of I(2P3/2) from the incoherent and coherent transitions to the |Omega'=1> and |Omega'=-1> components are rho(0)2(1Pi1)=0.756 and rho2(2)(1Pi1)=-0.656, respectively. For the perpendicular transition to |3Pi1>, rho(0)2(3Pi1)=-0.878 and rho2(2)(3Pi1)=0.328 are from the incoherent transition, whereas rho(0)2(3Pi1)=0.122 and rho2(2)(3Pi1)=0.328 are from the coherent transition. To analyze the photoion images of iodine photofragments, angular distributions of I+ from the 2+1 resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization detection scheme are derived.

Abstract
The technique of resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) has been used in conjunction with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS), to investigate the dynamics of ozone photolysis in the long wavelength region of the Hartley band (301-311 nm). Specifically, both the translational anisotropy and the rotational angular momentum orientation of the O(2) (a (1)Delta(g); nu=0, J=16-20) fragments have been measured as a function of photolysis wavelength. Within this region, the thermodynamic thresholds for the formation of these products in combination with O ((1)D(2)) are approached and passed, and consequently these studies have allowed an investigation into the effects on the dynamics of slowing fragment recoil velocities and the increasing importance of vibrationally mediated photolysis. The determined beta parameters for all the J states probed follow a similar trend, decreasing from a value typical for the initial (1)B(2)<--(1)A(1) excitation responsible for the Hartley band [for example, beta=1.40+/-0.12 for the O(2) (a (1)Delta(g); J=18) fragment], to a much lower value beyond the thermodynamic threshold for the fragment's production (for example, beta=0.63+/-0.19 for the J=18 fragment following photolysis at 311 nm). This trend, similar to that observed when probing the atomic fragment in a previous set of experiments, [Horrocks et al., J. Chem. Phys. 125, 133313 (2006); Denzer et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 16, 1954 (2006)] is consistent with the photodissociation of vibrationally excited ozone molecules beyond the threshold wavelengths and we estimate approximately 1/3 of this to be from excitation in the nu(3) asymmetric stretching mode. These observations are substantiated by the values of the beta(0) (2)(2,1) orientation moment measured, which for photolysis at 301 nm are negative, indicating that a bond opening mechanism provides the key torque for the departing O(2) fragment. The orientation moment becomes positive again for photolysis beyond threshold, however, as the increasing impulsive dissociation again begins to dominate the nature of the rotation of the departing molecular fragment. In addition, a (2+2) REMPI scheme has been utilized to probe the O(2) (a (1)Delta(g)) "low" J fragments, where the majority of the population resides following photolysis within this region. The REMPI-TOFMS technique has been used to confirm the rotational character of a spectral feature through examination of the signal line shapes obtained using different experimental geometries. The dynamical information subsequently obtained, probing the "low" J O(2) (a (1)Delta(g)) fragments on these rotational transitions, has unified previous translational anisotropy results obtained by detecting the O ((1)D(2)) atomic fragment with data for the O(2) (a (1)Delta(g); J=16-20) fragments.

Abstract
We report extended measurements of the rotational polarization and correlated angular distribution of CN photofragments from ICN photodissociation, with a particular emphasis on the creation and detection of molecular orientation with circularly-polarized light. Doppler profiles of the nascent photoproducts are measured by Frequency-Modulated (FM) transient absorption, and the resulting high signal-to-noise data are valuable for verifying the form of the angular correlations between the recoil velocity, the photofragment rotational angular momentum, and the space-fixed frame defined by the dissociation polarization. A space-fixed bipolar moment notation can be used for an unambiguous characterization of the maximal set of polarization properties that can be created with one-photon excitation and detected with one-photon Doppler-resolved absorption spectroscopy. Relating the observed polarization moments to the various coherent and incoherent, adiabatic and non-adiabatic mechanisms, that have been derived and verified extensively in the case of diatomic photodissociation to polarized atomic fragments, is not unambiguous in the case of diatomic fragments from triatomic precursors. Constraints among various polarization moments confirmed in the case of diatomic dissociation are not confirmed in this triatomic case, where the perpendicular transitions to non-degenerate A' and A'' components of a linear Omega = 1 state are qualitatively different from excitation to degenerate Omega = +/-1 states in a diatomic molecule.

Abstract
We review recent theoretical studies of the photodissociation of ozone in the wavelength region from 200 nm to 1100 nm comprising four major absorption bands: Hartley and Huggins (near ultraviolet), Chappuis (visible), and Wulf (near infrared). The quantum mechanical dynamics calculations use global potential energy surfaces obtained from new high-level electronic structure calculations. Altogether nine electronic states are taken into account in the theoretical descriptions: four 1A', two 1A'', one 3A' and two 3A'' states. Of particular interest is the analysis of diffuse vibrational structures, which are prominent in all absorption bands, and their dynamical origin and assignment. Another focus is the effect of non-adiabatic coupling on lifetimes in the excited states and on the population of the specific electronic product channels.

Abstract
In addition to the anomalous (17)O and (18)O isotope effects in the three-body ozone formation reaction O+O(2)+M, isotope effects in the destruction of ozone by photolysis may also play a role in determining the isotopic composition of ozone and other trace gases in the atmosphere. While previous experiments on ozone photolysis at 254 nm were interpreted as evidence for preferential loss of light ozone that is anomalous (or "non-mass-dependent"), recent semiempirical theoretical calculations predicted a preferential loss of heavy ozone at that wavelength that is mass dependent. Through photochemical modeling results presented here, we resolve this apparent contradiction between experiment and theory. Specifically, we show that the formation of ozone during the UV photolysis experiments is not negligible, as had been assumed, and that the well-known non-mass-dependent isotope effects in ozone formation can account for the non-mass-dependent enrichment of the heavy isotopologs of ozone observed in the experiment. Thus, no unusual non-mass-dependent fractionation in ozone photolysis must be invoked to explain the experimental results. Furthermore, we show that theoretical predictions of a mass-dependent preferential loss of the heavy isotopologs of ozone during UV photolysis are not inconsistent with the experimental data, particularly if mass-dependent isotope effects in the chemical loss reactions of ozone during the photolysis experiments or experimental artifacts enrich the remaining ozone in (17)O and (18)O. Before the calculated fractionation factors can be quantitatively evaluated, however, further investigation of possible mass-dependent isotope effects in the reactions of ozone with O((1)D), O((3)P), O(2)((1)Delta), and O(2)((1)Sigma) is needed through experiments we suggest here.

Abstract
The absolute velocity-dependent alignment and orientation for S(1D2) atoms from the photodissociation of OCS at 193 nm were measured using the dc slice imaging method. Three main peaks ascribed to specific groups of high rotational levels of CO in the vibrational ground state were found, with rotationally resolved rings in a fourth slow region ascribed to weak signals associated with excited vibrational states of CO. The observed speed-dependent beta and polarization parameters support the interpretation that there are two main dissociation processes: a simultaneous two-surface (A' and A") excitation and the initial single-surface (A') excitation followed by the nonadiabatic crossing to ground state. At 193 nm photodissociation, the nonadiabatic dissociation process is strongly enhanced relative to longer wavelengths. The angle- and speed-dependent S(1D2) density matrix can be constructed including the higher order (K = 3,4) contributions for the circularly polarized dissociation light. This was explicitly done for selected energies and angles. It was found in one case that the density matrix is sensitively affected by the rank 4 terms, suggesting that the higher order contributions should not be overlooked for an accurate picture of the dissociation dynamics in this system.

Abstract
Polarized laser photolysis, coupled with resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization detection of O(1D2) and velocity-map ion imaging, has been used to investigate the photodissociation dynamics of ozone at 193 nm. The use of multiple pump and probe laser polarization geometries and probe transitions has enabled a comprehensive characterization of the angular momentum polarization of the O(1D2) photofragments, in addition to providing high-resolution information about their speed and angular distributions. Images obtained at the probe laser wavelength of around 205 nm indicate dissociation primarily via the Hartley band, involving absorption to, and diabatic dissociation on, the B 1B2(3 1A1) potential energy surface. Rather different O(1D2) speed and electronic angular momentum spatial distributions are observed at 193 nm, suggesting that the dominant excitation at these photon energies is to a state of different symmetry from that giving rise to the Hartley band and also indicating the participation of at least one other state in the dissociation process. Evidence for a contribution from absorption into the tail of the Hartley band at 193 nm is also presented. A particularly surprising result is the observation of nonzero, albeit small values for all three rank K = 1 orientation moments of the angular momentum distribution. The polarization results obtained at 193 and 205 nm, together with those observed previously at longer wavelengths, are interpreted using an analysis of the long range quadrupole-quadrupole interaction between the O(1D2) and O2(1Deltag) species.

Abstract
The speed averaged translational anisotropy and electronic angular momentum polarization of the O(1D2) atomic fragment formed from the photodissociation of ozone in the atmospherically important long wavelength region of the Hartley band (298 to 320 nm) have been measured using resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization time of flight mass spectrometry. The translational anisotropy parameter, beta, is found to decline from 1.1 for photolysis at 300 nm to a minimum value of 0 at 310 nm which is the threshold for production of O(1D2) in conjunction with the O2(a 1Deltag v = 0) molecular cofragment. For photolysis wavelengths greater than 310 nm, O(1D2) is formed from the dissociation of internally excited ozone molecules. The corresponding beta parameters are markedly lower than for atomic fragments produced with the same speed from the photolysis of ground state ozone molecules. This result is consistent with two different pathways contributing to the photolysis of internally excited ozone at the longest wavelengths studied corresponding to initial internal excitation either in the symmetric or asymmetric stretching vibration. In addition, the polarization of the atomic angular momentum has been determined with the incoherent polarization parameters a0(2)(||) and a0(2)(_|) increasing from values of -0.53 and -0.62 at 300 nm to -0.37 and -0.19 at 317 nm, consistent with the increasing contribution from the photolysis of internally excited ozone as the dissociation wavelength lengthens. Evaluation of these alignment parameters allows the populations of the magnetic substrates, mj, to be determined. For example, for a photolysis wavelength of 303 nm the populations of mj = 0, +/- 1, +/- 2 are in the ratio of 0.36: 0.56: 0.08 and this ratio is essentially independent of the photolysis wavelength. The coherent contribution to the atomic polarization is quantified by the Re{a1(2)(||, _|)} and Im{a1(1)(||, _|)} parameters and these are found to vary from -0.21 and 0.21 at 300 nm to -0.04 and 0.24 at 313 nm, respectively.

Abstract
The translational anisotropy and the polarization of the electronic angular momentum of the O ((1)D2) fragment produced from the 298 nm photodissociation of ozone have been determined using resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) in conjunction with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS). The translational anisotropy parameter beta, which is necessarily averaged over the O2 co-fragment rotational distribution, is measured to be 1.08 +/- 0.04. This is consistent with that expected for the (1)B2 <-- (1)A1 transition within an impulsive model if the tangential velocity associated with the zero point motion of the bend is constricted to opening the bond angle. Molecular frame polarization parameters of rank up to k = 4 have been extracted for the O ((1)D2) fragment and the calculated m(J) populations show a strong preference for the absolute value(m(J)) = 1 states. A small coherence term is also observed, a manifestation of the nuclear geometry of the dissociating molecule and the existence of possible non-adiabatic processes in the exit channel. The orientation associated with the mapping of the photon helicity onto the O ((1)D2) electronic angular momentum distribution was observed to have been quenched. However, the parameter gamma1', which describes the contribution to the orientation from a coherent superposition of a parallel and perpendicular excitation where the photofragment angular momentum lies perpendicular to both the recoil velocity and to the transition dipole moment, was determined to be -0.06.

Abstract
We report a laboratory measurement of the rate coefficient for the collisional removal of O(2)(X(3)Sigma(g) (-),upsilon=1) by O((3)P) atoms. In the experiments, 266-nm laser light photodissociates ozone in a mixture of molecular oxygen and ozone. The photolysis step produces vibrationally excited O(2)(a(1)Delta(g)) that is rapidly converted to O(2)(X(3)Sigma(g) (-),upsilon=1-3) in a near-resonant electronic energy-transfer process with ground-state O(2). In parallel, a large amount of O((1)D) atoms is generated that promptly relaxes to O((3)P). Under the conditions of the experiments, only collisions with the photolytically produced O((3)P) atoms control the lifetime of O(2)(X(3)Sigma(g) (-),upsilon=1), because its removal by molecular oxygen at room temperature is extremely slow. Tunable 193-nm laser light monitors the temporal evolution of the O(2)(X(3)Sigma(g) (-),upsilon=1) population by detection of laser-induced fluorescence near 360 nm. The removal rate coefficient for O(2)(X(3)Sigma(g) (-),upsilon=1) by O((3)P) atoms is (3.2+/-1.0)x10(-12) cm(3) s(-1) (2sigma) at a temperature of 315+/-15 K (2sigma). This result is essential for the analysis and correct interpretation of the 6.3-mum H(2)O(nu(2)) band emission in the Earth's mesosphere and indicates that the deactivation of O(2)(X (3)Sigma(g) (-),upsilon=1) by O((3)P) atoms is significantly faster than the nominal values recently used in atmospheric models.

Abstract
We showcase the use of high-resolution ion imaging with complementary state-resolved and "universal" vacuum ultraviolet probes to address a broad range of fundamental problems in chemical reaction dynamics. Examples from our recent work include applications in state-correlated unimolecular reactions, ion pair dissociation dynamics and spectroscopy, crossed-beam reactive scattering, and atomic angular momentum polarization in photodissociation. These studies are all directed to achieving a detailed understanding of atomic and molecular interactions, with particular emphasis on reaction mechanisms outside the scope of transition state theory; on spectroscopy and dynamics of highly excited, transient species; on nonadiabatic reaction mechanisms; and on chemical dynamics in polyatomic systems.

Abstract
Three-dimensional diabatic potential energy surfaces for the lowest four electronic states of ozone with 1A' symmetry-termed X, A, B, and R-are constructed from electronic structure calculations. The diabatization is performed by reassigning corresponding energy points. Although approximate, these diabatic potential energy surfaces allow one to study the uv photodissociation of ozone on a level of theory not possible before. In the present work photoexcitation in the Hartley band and subsequent dissociation into the singlet channel, O3X+hnu-->O(1D)+O2(a 1Deltag), are investigated by means of quantum mechanical and classical trajectory calculations using the diabatic potential energy surface of the B state. The calculated low-resolution absorption spectrum as well as the vibrational and rotational state distributions of O2(a 1Deltag) are in good agreement with available experimental results.

Abstract
Vibrational relaxation of O2(X 3sigma(g)-, upsilon=2,3) by O2 molecules is studied via a two-laser approach. Laser radiation at 266 nm photodissociates ozone in a mixture of molecular oxygen and ozone. The photolysis step produces vibrationally excited O2(a 1delta(g)) that is rapidly converted to O2(X 3sigma(g)-, upsilon=2,3) in a near-resonant adiabatic electronic energy-transfer process involving collisions with ground-state O2. The output of a tunable 193-nm ArF laser monitors the temporal evolution of the O2(X 3sigma(g)-, upsilon=2,3) population via laser-induced fluorescence detected near 360 nm. The rate coefficients for the vibrational relaxation of O2(X 3sigma(g)-, upsilon=2,3) in collision with O2 are 2.0(-0.4)(+0.6) x 10(-13) cm3 s(-1) and (2.6+/-0.4) x 10(-13) cm3 s(-1), respectively. These rate coefficients agree well with other experimental work but are significantly larger than those produced by various semiclassical theoretical calculations.

Abstract
Ab initio potential energy and transition dipole moment surfaces are presented for the five lowest singlet even symmetry electronic states of ozone. The surfaces are calculated using the complete active space self consistent field method followed by contracted multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) calculations. A slightly reduced augmented correlation consistent valence triple-zeta orbital basis set is used. The ground and excited state energies of the molecule have been computed at 9282 separate nuclear geometries. Cuts through the potential energy surfaces, which pass through the geometry of the minimum of the ground electronic state, show several closely avoided crossings. Close examination, and higher level calculations, very strongly suggests that some of these seemingly avoided crossings are in fact associated with non-symmetry related conical intersections. Diabatic potential energy and transition dipole moment surfaces are created from the computed ab initio adiabatic MRCI energies and transition dipole moments. The transition dipole moment connecting the ground electronic state to the diabatic B state surface is by far the strongest. Vibrational-rotational wavefunctions and energies are computed using the ground electronic state. The energy level separations compare well with experimentally determined values. The ground vibrational state wavefunction is then used, together with the diabatic B<--X transition dipole moment surface, to form an initial wavepacket. The analysis of the time-dependent quantum dynamics of this wavepacket provides the total and partial photodissociation cross sections for the system. Both the total absorption cross section and the predicted product quantum state distributions compare well with experimental observations. A discussion is also given as to how the observed alternation in product diatom rotational state populations might be explained.

Abstract
The translational anisotropy and angular momentum polarization of the O(2)(a (1)Delta(g),v = 0;J = 15-27) molecular photofragment produced from the UV photodissociation of O(3) in the range from 270 to 300 nm have been determined using resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization in conjunction with time-of-flight mass spectrometry. At the shortest photolysis wavelengths used, the fragments exhibit the anisotropic vector correlations expected from a prompt dissociation via the (1)B(2) <--(1)A(1) transition. Deviations from this behavior are observed at longer photolysis wavelengths with, in particular, the angular momentum orientation showing a significant reduction in magnitude. This indicates that the dissociation can no longer be described by a purely impulsive model and a change in geometry of the dissociating molecule is implied. This observation is substantiated by the variation of the translational anisotropy with photolysis wavelength. We also observe that the bipolar moments describing the angular momentum polarization of the odd J states probed are consistently lower in magnitude than those of the even J states and that this variation is observed for all photolysis wavelengths.

Abstract
The effect of vibrational excitation on the photodissociation cross section of ozone in the Hartley continuum is examined. The calculations make use of newly computed potential energy and transition dipole moment surfaces. The initial vibrational states of the ozone are computed using grid based techniques and the first few ab initio computed vibrational energy level spacings agree to within 10 cm(-1) with experimental values. The computed total absorption cross sections arising from different initial vibrational states of ozone are discussed in the light of the nature of the transition dipole moment surface. The computed cross section for excitation from the ground vibrational-rotational state is in good agreement with the experimentally measured cross section. Excitation of the asymmetric stretching vibration of ozone has a marked effect on both the form and magnitude of the photodissociation cross section. The velocity distributions of highly reactive O(1D) atoms arising from the photodissociation process in different wavelength ranges is also presented. The results show that the O(1D) atoms travel with a most probable translational velocity of 2.030 km s(-1) corresponding to a translational energy of 0.342 eV or 33.0 kJ mol(-1).

Abstract
The photodissociation of O(2) in the region from 120-133 nm has been investigated using product imaging. The spectrum in this region is dominated by transitions from the ground state to the first three vibrational levels of the E (3)Sigma(u) (-) state. The O((1)D)+O((3)P) channel is the only product channel observed by product imaging for dissociation at either 124.4 nm or 120.4 nm. The O((1)D(2)) product is aligned in the molecular frame in such a way that its J vector is perpendicular to the relative velocity vector between the O((1)D) and the O((3)P). The variation in the anisotropy of dissociation is approximately predicted by considering transitions on individual lines and then taking into account the coherent excitation of overlapping resonances. At 132.7 nm, both the O((1)D)+O((3)P) and the O((3)P)+O((3)P) channels are observed with branching ratios of 0.40+/-0.08 and 0.60+/-0.09, respectively. At 130.2 nm, the quantum yield for production of O((1)D) is 0.76+/-0.28.

Abstract
We present a general method for determination of the photofragment K=4 state multipoles in an ion imaging experiment. These multipoles are important for determining the full density matrix for any photofragment with j(a)> or =2. They are expressed in terms of laboratory frame anisotropy parameters that have distinct physical origins and possess characteristic angular distributions. The explicit expression for the (2+1) resonant multiphoton ionization absorption signal for the case of arbitrarily polarized probe light is derived and a procedure for isolation of the rank-4 state multipoles from all others is shown. This treatment is applied to the case of O((1)D) produced in the 193 nm photodissociation of N2O. The results show nonzero values for all K=4 anisotropy parameters, indicating the complexity of the photodissociation dynamics in this system.
