The photodissociation dynamics of O3- at 523 nm have been studied using fast-ion-beam translational energy spectroscopy. Translational energy and angular distributions of coincident O- + O2 products from the process O3- + hv --> O- + O2 were measured. O3- was generated by electron-impact in a pulsed beam from two precursors - neat O2 and a seeded beam of O3. The observed photodissociation dynamics are very different in the two cases, indicating a great difference in internal excitation of ozonide in the two sources.
