Elucidating Norrish Type-I reactive pathways by ultrafast X-ray absorption spectroscopy

Martin Graßl, Pablo Unzueta, Andreas E. Hillers-Bendtsen +20

Norrish type I reactions selectively cleave carbon-carbon bonds directly adjacent to carbonyl groups. Despite their broad use in combination with aromatic carbonyls for additive ma…

X-ray Coulomb explosion imaging reveals role of molecular structure in internal conversion

Till Jahnke, Sebastian Mai, Surjendu Bhattacharyya +26

Molecular photoabsorption results in an electronic excitation/ionization which couples to the rearrangement of the nuclei. The resulting intertwined change of nuclear and electroni…
