The dependence of CS2 predissociation upon rotational quantum number K at vibrational levels below the barrier to linearity of the B-1(2)((1)Sigma(+)(u)) state has been investigated in detail with laser spectroscopy, by using a heated supersonic source to increase the intensities of hot band transitions. Predissociation lifetimes were determined from rotational contour simulations of 13 vibronic bands in the CS photofragment excitation (PHOFEX) spectrum, each terminating at the same upper vibrational level but via transitions with different K number (K = 0, 1, 2, respectively). The rovibrational populations of CS fragment at these excitation bands were derived from the laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectrum, and were used further to obtain the dissociation branching ratios S(D-1)/S(P-3) as well as the excess energy partitionings after dissociation. The lifetimes and the branching ratios were found to be sensitively dependent on quantum number K; the lifetime decreases with the increase of K, and the branching ratio increases with K. Analysis shows that quantum number K influences the S(D-1) channel more effectively than the S(P-3) channel. About 28 and 15% of the total available energy is taken up by the CS vibrational and rotational degrees of freedom, respectively. Systematic analysis indicates that the two electronic states interacting with B-1(2)((1)Sigma(+)(u)) state should be bent, and the state correlating with S(D-1) channel should be more bent.
