چکیده
Article history: Available online 21 August 2013 The application of femtosecond transition-state spectroscopy (FTS) to molecular iodine is reported. The real-time motion of wave packets prepared coherently in the bound B state is observed. In addition, the motion is probed near and above the dissociation limit for the reaction: I2 ? I (P3/2) + I⁄(2P1/2). FTS measurements of the dynamics on repulsive surfaces are also reported. 2013 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Femtosecond Transition-state Dynamics
Since the early days of the transition-state theory of Eyring, Evans and Polanyi,' the fleeting nature of the state as the reaction proceeds from reagents to products has been known. The lifetime of the state is typically s, and hence to observe these transition states in real time the temporal resolution must be on the femtosecond scale. Progress has been made in probing transition states of e...
متن کاملFemtosecond wave packet and chemical reaction dynamics of iodine in solution: Tunable probe study of motion along the reaction coordinate
One-and two-color time-domain probing of the resonant dichroic response of iodine in n-hexane following femtosecond B-X excitation at 580 nm is described. The detected signals contain both ground and excited state vibrational coherence contributions to the third-order polarization. The dichroic response can be separated into positive and negative amplitude contributions: B-X absorption and stim...
متن کاملFemtosecond photodissociation dynamics of 1,4-diiodobenzene by gas-phase X-ray scattering and photoelectron spectroscopy.
We present a multifaceted investigation into the initial photodissociation dynamics of 1,4-diiodobenzene (DIB) following absorption of 267 nm radiation. We combine ultrafast time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray scattering experiments performed at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) to study the initial electronic excitation and subsequent rotational alignment, and interpret the...
متن کاملFemtosecond Dynamics of Unimolecular and Unrestricted Bimolecular Reactions
The results of two time-resolved experiments using femtosecond laser pulses are presented. In the first, molecular photoinduced detachment of I2 from methylene iodide is studied. The progress of the reaction is monitored by selective detection of fluorescence from the iodine product; molecular dynamics are probed by depletion of the fluorescent state. Pump-probe spectroscopy of the halogen moie...
متن کاملSolvation Ultrafast Dynamics of Reactions. 14. Molecular Dynamics and ab Initio Studies of Charge-Transfer Reactions of Iodine in Benzene Clusters
Previous experiments have been carried out in this laboratory to investigate the dynamics of iodine-benzene charge-transfer reactions. Both 1:1 solute-solvent complexes and 1:n clusters were studied on the femtosecond time scale with kinetic energy time-of-flight mass spectrometry (Cheng, P. Y.; Zhong, D.; Zewail, A. H. J. Chem. Phys. 1996, 105, 6216). Here, we report theoretical studies of the...
