Photoexcited chemiluminescence spectroscopy: Detection of hydrogen atoms produced from single vibronic level photolysis of formaldehyde (Ã 1A2)

Abstract
A sensitive and quantitative spectroscopic method of detecting the hydrogen atoms formed in photolysis has been developed. The near infrared emmision from HNO (Ã A′′→Ã 1A′) produced by recombination of H and NO is monitored.
