Investigating dissociation pathways of nitrobenzene via mega-electron-volt ultrafast electron diffraction
Kareem Hegazy, James Cryan, Renkai Li +8
As the simplest nitroaromatic compound, nitrobenzene is an interesting model system to explore the rich photochemistry of nitroaromatic compounds. Previous measurements of nitroben…
Femtosecond electronic and hydrogen structural dynamics in ammonia imaged with ultrafast electron diffraction
Elio G. Champenois, Nanna H. List, Matthew Ware +18
Directly imaging structural dynamics involving hydrogen atoms by ultrafast diffraction methods is complicated by their low scattering cross-sections. Here we demonstrate that megae…
Rehybridization dynamics into the pericyclic minimum of an electrcyclic reaction imaged in real-time
Yusong Liu, David M. Sanchez, Matthew R. Ware +17
Electrocyclic reactions are characterized by the concerted formation and cleavage of both σ and π bonds through a cyclic structure. This structure is known as a pericyclic transiti…
Conformer-specific Chemistry Imaged in Real Space and Time
E. G. Champenois, D. M. Sanchez, J. Yang +17
Conformational isomers or conformers of molecules play a decisive role in chemistry and biology. However, experimental methods to investigate chemical reaction dynamics are typical…
Imaging the Photochemical Ring-Opening of 1,3-Cyclohexadiene by Ultrafast Electron Diffraction
T. J. A. Wolf, D. M. Sanchez, J. Yang +20
The ultrafast photoinduced ring-opening of 1,3-cyclohexadiene constitutes a textbook example of electrocyclic reactions in organic chemistry and a model for photobiological reactio…
Diffractive Imaging of Coherent Nuclear Motion in Isolated Molecules
Jie Yang, Markus Guehr, Xiaozhe Shen +17
Observing the motion of the nuclear wavepackets during a molecular reaction, in both space and time, is crucial for understanding and controlling the outcome of photoinduced chemic…
