Abstract

A method is offered to estimate quantitatively the energy distribution of molecules reacting after being excited by multiphoton absorption of infrared radiation. The method is based on the comparison of the real time reaction kinetics obtained in the infrared multiphoton experiment with those observed upon excitation of a vibrational overtone. Results obtained for the dissociation of tetramethyldioxetane under low-pressure conditions are used as a demonstration.
