CH(X2Π) has been observed by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy as the product of the two-photon dissociation of ketene (CH2CO) at 279.3 and 308 nm. The nascent distribution of rotational levels is Gaussian in profile, consistent with a 'rotational reflection' principle in the dissociation. Thermodynamic arguments imply a fragmentation pathway to CH + HCO following an initial one-photon absorption to the 1A″ excited state of ketene, a second photon absorption, and dissociation following rearrangement via a formylmethylene isomer. Analysis of Λ doublets in the LIF spectra shows no orbital alignment of CH produced on photolysis at 279.3 nm, but some propensity for Π (A′) symmetry alignment (π orbital of CH parallel to the plane of rotation) for photolysis at 308 nm.
