The roaming dynamics in the photodissociation of acetaldehyde is studied through the first absorption band, in the wavelength interval ranging from 230 nm to 325 nm. Using a combination of the velocity-map imaging technique and rotational resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectroscopy of the CO fragment, the branching ratio between the canonical transition state and roaming dissociation mechanisms is obtained at each of the photolysis wavelengths studied. Upon one photon absorption, the molecule is excited to the first singlet excited S-1 state, which, depending on the excitation wavelength, either converts back to highly vibrationally excited ground S-0 state or undergoes intersystem crossing to the first excited triplet T-1 state, from where the molecule can dissociate over two main channels: the radical (CH3 + HCO) and the molecular (CO + CH4) channels. Three dynamical regions are characterized: in the red edge of the absorption band, at excitation energies below the T1 barrier, the ratio of the roaming dissociation channel increases, largely surpassing the transition state contribution. As the excitation wavelength is increased, the roaming propensity decreases reaching a minimum at wavelengths similar to 308 nm. Towards the blue edge, at 230 nm, an upper limit of similar to 50% has been estimated for the contribution of the roaming channel. The experimental results are interpreted in terms of the interaction between the different potential energy surfaces involved by means of ab initio stationary points and intrinsic reaction coordinate paths calculations.
