Abstract
Molecular photodissociation is the photoinitiated fragmentation of a bound molecule 1 . The purpose of this chapter is to outline the ways in which molecular photodissociation is studied in the gas phase 2 . The results are particularly relevant to the investigation of the species involved in combustion and atmospheric reactions 3 .
