Abstract

Correlation curves for a least motion departure path of methylene in the photocomposition of ketene are interpreted in terms of least energy paths. It is concluded that the first excited triplet state of ketene can probably form ³CH₂(³B₂) and ¹CH₂(¹A₁) relatively rapidly and the first excited singlet state can give ³CH₂(³B₂) easily in a near least motion path. However, the formation of ¹CH₂(¹A₁) from the first excited singlet state of ketene by a near-least motion path appears to be highly improbable.
