The competition between multiple pathways sampled during the energetic relaxation of excited molecules can be difficult to experimentally decipher. The rare gas···dihalogen van der Waals complexes have remained key systems...

Vibrational predissociation (VP) of glyoxal complexes formed in a supersonic expansion, has been studied in several vibrational levels of the first excited singlet electronic state S1(1Au) of glyoxal. Light complexes as H2-glyoxal display a nice state to state dissociation. Whereas the analysis of the fluorescence spectrum, together with lifetime measurements, have shown that VP is in competition with other intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution processes in these systems, as well as inter-system crossing (ISC). Glyoxal-Ar and glyoxal-Kr behave very similarly. In particular, two isomers exist with different dissociation schemes (but similar for the same isomer of Ar or Kr-complex), and Kr does not seem to enhance ISC. Thus selectivity in the dissociation routes has to be understood as a competition between these deactivation channels.

s-Tetrazine argon complexes T−Arn (n = 1, 2) are formed in a supersonic expansion of argon seeded with s-tetrazine. The expansion was conducted through a nozzle of 50 or 100 μm with an argon stagnation pressure between 1 and 1.5 bar. From spectrally resolved measurements it is clear that vibrational redistribution processes as well as vibrational predissociation processes take place after SVL excitation within the complex.From rise and decay time experiments it can be concluded, that after excitation of the 6a1 complex level, the above mentioned processes are consecutive and not parallel. It appears that the out of plane mode 16a couples with the Van der Waals stretching mode. The predissociation rate of the 16a2 complex is observed to be 2.3 × 109 s−1.

The onset of facile intramolecular vibrational energy flow can be related to features in the connected network of anharmonic resonances in the classical phase space.
