Vibration Energy Accumulation and Redistribution in Organic Molecules Irradiated by Infrared Photons
A theoretical approach to the dissociation and low-energy electronic excitation of polyatomic organic molecules with donor and acceptor substructures is suggested. The donor hydrocarbon molecular substructures can serve as antennas for low-energy infrared (IR)-photon absorption, which coherently induce collective vibrational excitations (excimols). Due to dipole-dipole interactions, the accumulated energy can transit to the molecular acceptors: dipole-type trap-bonds or molecular parts with π-electron orbits. The analytical expressions for the probability functions of molecular fragmentation and electronic excitation induced by IR-multiphoton absorption are derived. The vibrational energy accumulation and redistribution in the molecules of diphenylalkanes irradiated by infrared photons are considered from the presented point of view.
