Vacuum Ultraviolet Photochemistry. Part V. Nitrous Oxide at 1236 A

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The photolysis of nitrous oxide has been studied using krypton resonance radiation at 1236 A. The mechanism is found to differ from that at 1470 A and at 1849 A since the initial absorption act at 1236 A probably proceeds in a dual manner. One way leads to production of nitrogen atoms and nitric oxide molecules while the other produces nitrogen molecules and oxygen atoms. The mechanisms at the three wavelengths are unified into one consistent picture.
