Deuterium isotope effect on single vibronic level photochemistry of formaldehyde ∼ A, 1A2): Fluorescence quantum yields, radiative and non-radiative transitions

Abstract

Fluorescence quantum yields for various single vibronic levels and fluorescnce decay times for the 41 level have been measured for H2CO, HDCO, and D2CO. Implications of the observed radiative and non-radiative transitions to vibronic coupling mechanisms and photochemistry are discussed. © 1976.
