The bamer cross1Og process shows no evidence of a low-friction or energy controlled regton e~en at the lowest liquid visc~siti~s studied. We present evidence that the barrier crossing may be 10 the energy controlled regton 10 the thermal vapor. We discuss the influence of intramolecular.vibrati~nal energ! transfe~ on the observed dynamics and note that entropy effects should be conSIdered 10 companng expenmental data with theoretical models.

Unimolecular reactions of isolated, collisional gas phase and solvated molecules: Connections between stilbene isomerization rates under supersonic jet and thermal gas phase conditions

Photochemical isomerization provides a practical testing ground for activated barrier crossing theories. Stilbene is a prototype, because (I) reaction may be initiated by a short optical pulse and the decay of the excited trans isomer followed optically, and (2) the isomerization rate is slow compared to vibrational or solvent relaxation processes in solution. The goal is to understand the effe...

Determination of the formation of dark state via depleted spontaneous emission in a complex solvated molecule.

We present a general two-color two-pulse femtosecond pump-dump approach to study the specific population transfer along the reaction coordinate through the higher vibrational energy levels of excited states of a complex solvated molecule via the depleted spontaneous emission. The time-dependent fluorescence depletion provides the correlated dynamical information between the monitored fluorescen...

The physicochemical properties of solute in solutions provide valuable information on solute –solvent, solute – solute and solvent – solvent interactions. The intermolecular forces between theliquids molecules and solvent molecules affect the viscosity of the solution. Information regardinginter and intra molecular interactions can be obtained from volumetric, and viscometric data in asolute so...
