Comment on predissociation of O2 in the B state

Theoretical models and experimental data on the predissociation of O2 in the B state are analyzed, with a focus on the results reported by Wodtke et al. (1988). Absorption cross sections in the (11,0) Schumann-Runge band of O2 at 79 K (Yoshino et al., 1987) are matched to curves synthesized from lower fine-structure components for 5Pi(u) and 3Pi(u) predissociative mechanisms. It is concluded that the 3Pi(u) predominance proposed by Wodtke et al. is not justified by the data. In a reply by Wodtke and Huwel, the need for further studies to clarify the apparent discrepancies between absorption and emission spectroscopy is indicated.
