Abstract
2,2,4-Trimethylpentane has been photolysed at 123·6 and 147 nm at substrate pressures of 1–55 Torr, and conversions of 0·02–0·4%. Use of radical scavenging techniques show the existence of three molecular primary C8H18→ i-C4H8+ i-C4H10(i), → CH4+ C7H14(ii), → C3H6+ neo-C5H12(iii), C8H18→ Me + C7H15(iv), → But+ Bui(v), → Pri+ neo-C5H11(vi) processes (i)–(iii). In addition to processes (i)–(iii), radical processes (iv)–(vi) also occur. Deactivation of the excited molecular and radical primary products is incomplete, and secondary fragmentation reactions occur.
