Correction to “Direct Observation of a Transiently Formed Isomer During Iodoform Photolysis in Solution by Time-Resolved X-ray Liquidography”

In the published Letter, the quantum yield of excited iodoform was underestimated, which was caused by a simple mistake in the scaling of the experimental scattering curves to the theoretical ones. To resolve this issue, we reanalyzed the data using the new scale factor. Accordingly, the time-dependent concentrations in Figure 4c and the related bimolecular rate constants in Figure 4a have to be modified. The corrected bimolecular rate constants are 6.46 ± 0.02 × 10⁹ M^–1 s^–1 for I + I → I₂ and 2.71 ± 0.01 × 10⁹ M^–1 s^–1 for CHI₂ + I → CHI₃. The corrected Figure 4 is presented here. The quantum yield for excitation and the fraction of the excited state that relaxes back to the ground state without undergoing isomerization or fragmentation reaction are 11.3 ± 0.1% and 18.5 ± 2.9%, respectively, although these were not reported in the published Letter. This erratum does not affect conclusions reported in the Letter.(corrected).
