Abstract
A spectroscopic method has been developed to study chemical reaction processes through in situ observation of the time profile of molecular absorptions in the millimeter- and submillimeter-wave regions. The method has been applied to oxidation reactions of unsaturated hydrocarbons initiated by mercury photosensitization. It has also been combined with the excimer laser photolysis to examine photodecomposition processes of SO2, CS2, and Cl2SO, where nascent distributions of photofragments such as SO and CS were measured. Advantages and disadvantages of the method have been discussed in some detail.

Spectroscopy of ReactionA spectroscopic method has been developed to study chemical reaction processes through in situ observation of the time profile of molecular absorptions in the millimeterand submillimeter-wave regions
Optical spectroscopy, in particular laser-induced fluorescence (LIF), has been extensively employed to investigate chemical reaction processes through real-time monitoring of reaction intermediate species
Spectroscopy in the infrared and microwave regions has rarely been used as a monitoring tool, because its sensitivity has been insufficient to detect short-lived species present in the reaction system
