We produced selective predissociation of ortho-I2 molecules with argon-laser radiation. A relatively rapid conversion of para-I2 into ortho-I2 was observed. The rate constants of the elementary process that may be responsible for the conversion were estimated, together with the quantum yield of predissociation from the I2-molecule excited state B3^0+u with ν = 43
