Real-time observation of the formation of excited radical ions in bimolecular photoinduced charge separation: absence of the Marcus inverted region explained.
Unambiguous evidence for the formation of excited ions upon ultrafast bimolecular photoinduced charge separation is found using a combination of femtosecond time-resolved fluorescence up-conversion, infrared and visible transient absorption spectroscopy. The reaction pathways are tracked by monitoring the vibrational energy redistribution in the product after charge separation and subsequent ch...
متن کاملFemtosecond time-resolved Raman spectroscopy using stimulated Raman scattering
Femtosecond Raman spectroscopy has been developed to investigate ultrafast photoinduced structural changes of materials. Vibrational modes in the photogenerated transient species are measured by stimulated Raman scattering using a Raman pump pulse with narrow bandwidth and a femtosecond supercontinuum probe pulse. The Raman signal can be measured without slowing the temporal response and broade...
متن کاملUltrafast Laser Spectroscopy of Chemical Reactions
Ultrafast laser spectroscopy has extended reaction-dynamic studies into the dcosecond and femtosecond time domain. allowing for experimintal observations of transitory fragments that occur during collision or half-collision. This ability to observe molecular reactions allows real-time viewing of energy redistributions, measurements of state-to-state rates, and tests of microscopic statistical t...
متن کاملFemtosecond UV-pump mid-IR probe spectroscopy of the ultrafast photodissociation of azide radicals from an azidoiron\(III\) complex
The ultrafast photolysis of the cation complex [(cyclam-ac)FeN3] is studied by femtosecond spectroscopy with ultraviolet excitation and mid-infrared probing. Immediately after UV absorption, the excited complex undergoes internal conversion and azide dissociation within 2 ps. The subsequent vibrational relaxation in the electronic ground state and geminate recombination of the fragments take pl...
متن کاملGeneration and characterization of tunable mid-infrared femtosecond pulses
In this Chapter we describe the design of an optical parametric amplifier that allows the generation of infrared laser pulses suitable for ultrafast nonlinear spectroscopy on the OH-stretching mode of water molecules. Mid-infrared femtosecond pulses, tunable in the range of 2800-3800 cm with sub-100 fs duration and ~15 μJ energy are produced by an optical parametric amplifier driven at 1 kHz by...
