The photochemical ring-opening reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene: complex dynamical evolution of the reactive state
O. Travnikova, T. Piteša, A. Ponzi +19
The photochemically induced ring-opening isomerization reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene (CHD) to 1,3,5-hexatriene (HT) is a textbook example of a pericyclic reaction, and has been am…
Correlation Driven Transient Hole Dynamics Resolved in Space and Time in the Isopropanol Molecule
T. Barillot, O. Alexander, B. Cooper +46
The possibility of suddenly ionized molecules undergoing extremely fast electron hole dynamics prior to significant structural change was first recognized more than 20 years ago an…
Following excited-state chemical shifts in molecular ultrafast x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
Dennis Mayer, Fabiano Lever, David Picconi +17
The conversion of photon energy into other energetic forms in molecules is accompanied by charge moving on ultrafast timescales. We directly observe the charge motion at a specific…
Transient Resonant Auger-Meitner Spectra of Photoexcited Thymine
Thomas J. A. Wolf, Alexander C. Paul, Sarai D. Folkestad +15
We present the first investigation of excited state dynamics by resonant Auger-Meitner spectroscopy (also known as resonant Auger spectroscopy) using the nucleobase thymine as an e…
Tracking the Ultraviolet Photochemistry of Thiophenone During and Beyond the Initial Ultrafast Ring Opening
Shashank Pathak, Lea M. Ibele, Rebecca Boll +19
Photoinduced isomerization reactions, including ring-opening reactions, lie at the heart of many processes in nature. The mechanisms of such reactions are determined by a delicate…
Attosecond timing of electron emission from a molecular shape resonance
S. Nandi, E. Plésiat, S. Zhong +11
Shape resonances in physics and chemistry arise from the spatial confinement of a particle by a potential barrier. In molecular photoionization, these barriers prevent the electron…
Probing ultrafast ππ*/nπ* internal conversion in organic chromophores via K-edge resonant absorption
T. J. A. Wolf, R. H. Myhre, J. P. Cryan +21
Organic chromophores with heteroatoms possess an important excited state relaxation channel from an optically allowed ππ* to a dark nπ*state. We exploit the element and site specif…
Delayed Ultrafast X-ray Auger Probing (DUXAP) of Nucleobase Ultraviolet Photoprotection
B. K. McFarland, J. P. Farrell, S. Miyabe +28
We present a new method for ultrafast spectroscopy of molecular photoexcited dynamics. The technique uses a pair of femtosecond pulses: a photoexcitation pulse initiating excited s…
Experimental Verification of the Chemical Sensitivity of Two-Site Double Core-Hole States Formed by an X-ray FEL
P. Salen, P. van der Meulen, H. T. Schmidt +16
We have performed X-ray two-photon photoelectron spectroscopy (XTPPS) using the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) in order to study double core-hol…
