The dynamics of H2 elimination from 1,4-cyclohexadiene (CHDN), dissociated with 212 nm light, have been studied by state specific probing of the H2 product via (1+1) REMPI using a transform limited vacuum ultraviolet laser system. The quantum state distributions, the translational energy distribution and the Doppler profiles were measured giving a "rotational temperature'' of (approximately-equal-to)1600 K, a "vibrational temperature'' of (approximately-equal-to)4000 K, and a translational energy of (approximately-equal-to)30 kcal/mol for H2. Anisotropy in the Doppler profiles indicates that the H2's velocity vector is aligned parallel to its rotational angular momentum vector.
