Over the last few decades, conical intersections (CoIns) have grown from theoretical
curiosities into common mechanistic features of photochemical reactions, whose function is …

Halide photoredox chemistry is of both practical and fundamental interest. Practical
applications have largely focused on solar energy conversion with hydrogen gas, through …

Iodine was discovered in 1811 by the French chemist Curtois during the process of
manufacturing potassium nitrate, with which he supplied the Napoleon armies. 1 While …

The development of femtosecond time-resolved methods for the study of gas-phase
molecular dynamics is founded upon the seminal studies of Zewail and co-workers, as …

The development of femtosecond lasers brought entirely new possibilities into the practive of
time-resolved vibrational spectroscopy (TRVS). For the first time, it became possible to …

Femtosecond pump-probe experiments reveal the impulsive production of photoproduct in
the primary event in vision. The retinal chromophore of rhodopsin was excited with a 35 …

The genesis of the exploration of electron transfer (ET) in the condensed phase dates back
to the origins of chemistry in the nineteenth century. In 1808 Humphry Davy observed [1] that …

When a molecular system undergoes a chargetransfer reaction, the equilibrium positions of
the nuclei of both the reacting molecule (s) and the molecules in the environment generally …

▪ Abstract Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (TRPES) has become a powerful new
tool in studying the dynamics of molecules and clusters. It has been applied to processes …

A framework for understanding impulsively photoinduced vibrational coherent motion on the
ground electronic surface is presented. In particular strong resonant excitation to a directly …
