We follow up on the previous talk on ultrafast timescale studies of the isomerization between CH₂ClI and CH₂Cl-I in cryogenic matrices. We establish a population of CH₂Cl-I in cryogenic matrices and then pump the two lowest electronic absorption features of CH₂Cl-I near 435 nm and 800 nm. Then we study the formation of CH₂ClI and CH₂Cl-I by probing electronic absorption features of both isomers.
