Notes:
In a crossed laser-molecular beam study of nitromethane it was found that the excitation of nitromethane at 266 nm did not yield dissociation products under collision-free conditions. When a small cluster of nitromethane was excited at the same frequency, the product was seen only at energies and masses consistent with the rupture of the van der Waals bond by vibrational predissociation of the excited state.
