Monitoring molecular vibronic coherences in a bichromophoric molecule by ultrafast X-ray spectroscopy

Coherences during the non-adiabatic dynamics of a bichromophoric molecules are probed via stimulated X-ray Raman signals. They survive for several hundred femtoseconds, despite highly heterogeneous contributions across the molecular sampling space.

Intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution in HCCCH2X (X = Cl, Br, I) measured by femtosecond pump–probe experiments in a hollow waveguide

Time resolved femtosecond probing of intramolecular energy flow after excitation of the two different infrared CH-chromophores in these bichromophoric molecules shows strong dependence on the chemical environment of the initial excitation.
