Results of ozone photolysis experiments are reported. The quantum efficiencies for O(1-D) production were found to be 0.29, 0.22, and 0.11 at 293, 258, and 221 K respectively. This temperature dependence was attributed to the vibrational and rotational energy needed in the O3 molecule to surpass the energy requirement for O(1-D) + O2(1-delta) production. Since angular momentum must be conserved during dissociation, only two degrees of rotational freedom are available, and the data are best fitted with a critical rotational-vibrational energy of 0.86 kcal/mol. This leads to a dissociation enthalpy of 24.32 + or - 0.1 kcal/mol for O3 at 0 K.
