The dish‐topped metastable peak for the fragmentation [C 3 H 7 ] + → [allyl] + + H 2 is generated by the threshold fragmentation. The fraction of the reverse activation energy which is partitioned as translational energy of the products is 0.9 ± 0.1. It is proposed that a similar partitioning coefficient applies to the excess internal energy above threshold.
