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…
