Bromoform Molecules Like to Rearrange Their Atoms | Newswise: News for Journalists

$A long-predicted ultrafast isomerization in the UV photochemistry of bromoform is visualized for the first time by femtosecond time-resolved electron diffraction. At 267 nm excitation, the reaction pathway surpasses direct dissociation by a 60:40 margin.$
