Abstract
The photodissociation of HCl in the air-HCl cluster has been studied theoretically using a classical trajectory method to explore the effect of a "solvent" atom on the process. The calculated kinetic energy and angular distributions of the photofragments show a "cage" effect, due to collisions between H and the heavy atoms before H leaves the cluster. Also, significant differences are seen depending on whether a classical distribution is used to describe the initial Ar-HCl bending distribution.
