Title: Photodissociation of chlorine molecule in the UV region

Journal/Source: Chem. Phys. Lett., 155 (4-5), 486-490, (1989); http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0009-2614(89)87191-X

Comments: Chlorine molecules are photodissociated at 308 and 351 nm, in the first UVabsorption band that peaks at 335 nm. 
The resulting chlorine atoms are solely in the 2P 3/2 state.
