We have studied the multiphoton photodissociation of (C2H2)n and (C2H2)n• Arm clusters in molecular beams. The clusters were prepared in supersonic expansions under various conditions, and the corresponding mean cluster sizes were determined, for which the photodissociation at 193 nm was studied. The measured kinetic energy distributions (KEDs) of the H fragment from acetylene in clusters peak around 0.2 eV, in agreement with the KED from an isolated C2H2 molecule. However, the KEDs from the clusters extend to kinetic energies of over 2 eV, significantly higher than the maximum fragment energies from an isolated molecule of about 1 eV. The photofragment acceleration upon solvation is a rather unusual phenomenon.
