Quantum yields of I (52P1/2) atoms by photodissociation of iodides using λ = 325 nm radiation

The relative quantum yields of I (5²P_1/2) atoms as a result of the photodissociation of F₃I, C₂F₅I, n-C₃F₇I, i-C₃F₇I₇, and (CF₃)₃CI, by He–Cd (λ = 325 nm) radiation were determined by observation of the luminescence from these I (5²P_1/2) atoms (λ = 1315 nm). Measurements were made of the constants describing quenching of I (5²P_1/2) iodine atoms by molecules of these iodides and also by nitrogen molecules.
