Product branching ratios for each irradiation source in both the condensed and gas phase for the CH3CN parent.

CH3CN Condensed phase Gas phase

Species VUV Electrons VUV Electrons
HCN 1 1 1 1
CH3NC 0.6 (0.1) 0.7 (0.1) 0.8 (0.1) 0.5 (0.1)
CH3CH2CN OL OL 1.0 (0.1) 0.3 (0.0)
CH2CNCH 0.9 (0.1) 4.0 (0.4) LOD LOD
CH4 1.7 (0.4) 1.0 (0.2) ND ND

Notes. OL – Overlap of band in the RAIRS spectrum. LOD – Outside the limit of detection based on transition strength and number of molecules formed. ND – No permanent dipole moment preventing millimeter-wave detection.
