We investigated the dissociative ionization of formaldehyde (CH(2)O) and ethene (C(2)H(4)) produced from photolysis of 1,3-trimethylene oxide at 193 nm using a molecular-beam apparatus and vacuum-ultraviolet radiation from an undulator for direct ionization. The CH(2)O (C(2)H(4)) product suffers from severe dissociative ionization to HCO(+) (C(2)H(3) (+) and C(2)H(2) (+)) even though photoionization energy is as small as 9.8 eV. Branching ratios of fragmentation of CH(2)O and C(2)H(4) following ionization are revealed as a function of kinetic energy of products using ionizing photons from 9.8 to 14.8 eV. Except several exceptions, branching ratios of daughter ions increase with increasing photon energy but decrease with increasing kinetic energy. The title reaction produces CH(2)O and C(2)H(4) mostly on electronic ground states but a few likely on triplet states; C(2)H(4) (a(3)B(1u)) seems to have a yield greater than CH(2)O (a(3)A(2)). The distinct features observed at small kinetic energies of daughter ions are attributed to dissociative ionization of photoproducts CH(2)O (a(3)A(2)) and C(2)H(4) (a(3)B(1u)). The observation of triplet products indicates that intersystem crossing occurs prior to fragmentation of 1,3-trimethylene oxide.
