Towards controlling photochemical reactivity in small polyatomic molecules in solution: Difluorodiiodomethane

Abstract

Ultrafast transient absorption and tools of computational photochemistry monitor the efficient formation of molecular iodine from difluorodiiodomethane promoted to the lowest excited state in inert solvents: this requires significantly larger photon energies in the gas-phase. © Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2013.
