The rotational alignment, ..lambda..-doubling, and spin-orbit populations of the NO fragment following the photodissociation of (CH/sub 3/)/sub 2/NNO and (CH/sub 3/)/sub 3/CONO in different absorption bands are determined. The results for the S/sub 1/(n..pi..*) withdraws S/sub 0/ and S/sub 2/(..pi pi..*) withdraws S/sub 0/ transitions in both molecules indicate planarity of the fragmentation processes and an A'' symmetry of the S/sub 1/ state. For the S/sub 2/(..pi pi..*) withdraws S/sub 0/ transition in (CH/sub 3/)/sub 2/NNO the results imply an A' symmetry of the S/sub 2/ state. The values obtained for the alignment are indicative of the difference between the directions of the transition dipole moment for the S/sub 1/(n..pi..*) withdraws S/sub 0/ and the S/sub 2/(..pi pi..*) withdraws S/sub 0/ transitions.
