TLDR
In this article, the primary dissociation processes in the photolysis of methyl of methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) at 193.3 nm have been investigated and a quantum yield of close to unity for the formation of both CH 3 and C 2 H 3 radicals has been determined using real-time absorption data in conjunction with gas chromatography analysis of final products.
Abstract
The primary dissociation processes in the photolysis of methyl of methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) at 193.3 nm have been investigated. A quantum yield of close to unity for the formation of both CH 3 and C 2 H 3 radicals has been determined using real-time absorption data in conjunction with gas chromatography analysis of final products. Detailed kinetic modeling of the system indicates a rate constant of (1.5±0.3)×10 -10 cm 3 molecule -1 s -1 for the cross-combination of methyl vinyl radicals

Absolute Photoionization Cross-Section of the Methyl Radical†

TL;DR: The absolute photoionization cross-section of the methyl radical has been measured using two completely independent methods to allow relative photoionized efficiency spectra of methyl radical to be placed on an absolute scale and will facilitate quantitative measurements of methyl concentrations by photoionizing mass spectrometry.
