	abstract = {<p>Photodissociation of CH2BrI was investigated in search of unimolecular elimination of BrI via a primary channel using cavity ring-down absorption spectroscopy (CRDS) at 248 nm. The BrI spectra were acquired involving the first three ground vibrational levels corresponding to A3Π1 {\textleftarrow} X1Σ+ transition. With the aid of spectral simulation, the BrI rotational lines were assigned. The nascent vibrational populations for v'' = 0, 1, and 2 levels are obtained with a population ratio of 1:(0.58 {\textpm} 0.10):(0.34 {\textpm} 0.05), corresponding to a Boltzmann-like vibrational temperature of 713 {\textpm} 49 K. The quantum yield of the ground state BrI elimination reaction is determined to be 0.044 {\textpm} 0.014. The CCSD(T)//B3LYP/MIDI! method was employed to explore the potential energy surface for the unimolecular elimination of BrI from CH2BrI.</p>
