Zusammenfassung: <jats:p>The photodissociation of methyl nitrite CH<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>ONO in three different electronically excited states has been studied by determining the internal state distribution of one of the photofragments.

The vibrational distribution in both species can be explained by statistical considerations.

For CH<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>ONO excited in the first nπ* excited state at 3550 Å the NO X fragment has been probed by a two photon laser excited fluorescence technique. The nascent NO X υ″ = 0, 1, 2, 3 exhibit a population inversion and a high degree of rotational excitation.</jats:p>
