Heteroatom Position Controls Ultrafast Photodynamics of Oxazole and Isoxazole
Briony Downes-Ward, Paul Javed, Huynh V. S. Lam +27
The ultrafast photochemistry of heterocyclic compounds is central to photobiology and materials chemistry, yet direct experimental observation of their structural dynamics remains…
Monitoring the evolution of relative product populations at early times during a photochemical reaction
Joao Pedro Figueira Nunes, Lea Maria Ibele, Shashank Pathak +31
Identifying multiple rival reaction products and transient species formed during ultrafast photochemical reactions and determining their time-evolving relative populations are key…
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…
Structure retrieval in liquid-phase electron scattering
Jie Yang, J. Pedro F. Nunes, Kathryn Ledbetter +13
Electron scattering on liquid samples has been enabled recently by the development of ultrathin liquid sheet technologies. The data treatment of liquid-phase electron scattering ha…
Diffractive imaging of dissociation and ground state dynamics in a complex molecule
Kyle Wilkin, Robert Parrish, Jie Yang +9
We have investigated the structural dynamics in photoexcited 1,2-diiodotetrafluoroethane molecules (C2F4I2) in the gas phase experimentally using ultrafast electron diffraction and…
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…
