Description
The five-member ring isomers oxazole and isoxazole (C3H3NO) are an interesting model system for studying UV-induced isomerization and dissociation since the different types of bonds in both isomers (C-N-C-O vs C-N-O-C) are predicted to lead to very different reaction products and dynamics. I will present time-resolved product yields for both isomers obtained from a recent GUED experiment and compare the experimental findings to results of trajectory surface hopping simulations as well as time-resolved Coulomb explosion imaging experiments performed at Kansas State University.
