Dissociative detachment of the fluoroformate anion.

Dissociative photodetachment of the FCO2- fluoroformate complex by intense laser pulses is studied using 3D coincidence fragment imaging. The main channels are found to be CO2 + F and FCO + O. Cleavage of the C-F bond is attributed to dissociation on the B[combining tilde]2A1 excited state of the neutral FCO2 radical with significant internal excitation of the molecular fragment, while reductive dissociation of the CO2 moiety is assigned to higher lying states.
