摘要

Reaction pathways that bypass the conventional saddle-point transition state (TS) are of considerable interest and importance. An example of such a pathway, termed "roaming," has been described in the photodissociation of H_2CO. In a combined experimental and theoretical study, we show that roaming pathways are important in the 308-nm photodissociation of CH_3CHO to CH_4 + CO. The CH_4 product is found to have extreme vibrational excitation, with the vibrational distribution peaked at ≈95% of the total available energy. Quasiclassical trajectory calculations on full-dimensional potential energy surfaces reproduce these results and are used to infer that the major route to CH_4 + CO products is via a roaming pathway where a CH_3 fragment abstracts an H from HCO. The conventional saddle-point TS pathway to CH_4 + CO formation plays only a minor role. H-atom roaming is also observed, but this is also a minor pathway. The dominance of the CH_3 roaming mechanism is attributed to the fact that the CH_3 + HCO radical asymptote and the TS saddle-point barrier to CH_4 + CO are nearly isoenergetic. Roaming dynamics are therefore not restricted to small molecules such as H_2CO, nor are they limited to H atoms being the roaming fragment. The observed dominance of the roaming mechanism over the conventional TS mechanism presents a significant challenge to current reaction rate theory.
