Tunable laser photodissociation spectroscopy measurements and photofragment imaging experiments are employed to investigate the dissociation energy of the Fe(benzene) ion-molecule complex. Additional spectroscopy measurements determine the dissociation energy of Fe(benzene). The dissociation energies for Fe(benzene) determined from the threshold for the appearance of the Fe fragment (48.4 ± 0.2 kcal/mol) and photofragment imaging (≤49.3 ± 3.2 kcal/mol) agree nicely with each other and with the value determined previously by collision-induced dissociation (49.5 ± 2.9 kcal/mol), but they are lower than the values produced by computational chemistry at the density functional theory level using different functionals recommended for transition-metal chemistry. The threshold measurement for Fe(benzene) (43.0 ± 0.2 kcal/mol) likewise agrees with the value (44.7 ± 3.8 kcal/mol) from previous collision-induced dissociation measurements.

Tunable laser photodissociation spectroscopy and photofragment imaging experiments are employed to investigate the spectroscopy and dissociation dynamics of the Mg(benzene) ion-molecule complex. When excited with ultraviolet radiation, Mg(benzene) photodissociates efficiently, producing both Mg and benzene fragments, with branching ratios depending on the wavelength. The wavelength dependence of these processes are similar, with intense resonances at 330 and 241 nm and weaker features at 290 and 258 nm.

Article Synopsis
- This study advances our understanding of how alkyl iodides behave when exposed to ultraviolet light, focusing on their photodissociation in the first absorption band.
- It utilizes techniques like resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) to analyze the energy distribution and movement of photofragments after dissociation, linking this to the molecular structure of the alkyl iodides.
- Findings indicate that linear alkyl iodides interact more effectively with the primary bond involved in the reaction, while branched molecules exhibit more complex dissociation due to additional vibrational modes, revealing a multidimensional dissociation process.

Under irradiation of a vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photon, methane dissociates and yields multiple fragments. This photochemical behavior is not only of fundamental importance but also with wide-ranging implications in several branches of science. Despite that and numerous previous investigations, the product channel branching is still under debate, and the underlying dissociation mechanisms remain elusive.
