The spectra and dynamics of coupled vibrational states in polyatomic molecules have for a
long time been a central theme of physical chemical research (1-3). Recently, a major …

Coupling vibrational transitions to resonant optical modes creates vibrational polaritons
shifted from the uncoupled molecular resonances and provides a convenient way to modify …

A pedagogical overview of intramolecular vibrational redistribution (IVR) phenomena in
vibrationally excited molecules is presented. In the interest of focus and simplicity, the topics …

The concept of the normal mode is so firmly engrained in the theory of molecular vibrations
that it is only in recent years that analysis of the overtone and combination band spectra has …

We used rotational cooling of molecules to∼ 5 K by supersonic expansion and state‐
selective, multilevel saturation spectroscopy to obtain high‐resolution spectra of the …

The advent of laser-based sources of ultrafast infrared pulses has extended the study of very
fast molecular dynamics to the observation of processes manifested through their effects on …

A theoretical model is presented for the vibrational dynamics of highly excited CH and CD
overtones in benzene and perdeuterobenzene. The origin, path, and time scale for the …

Since the invention of the tunable laser chemists have dreamed of using its characteristic
high intensity and spectral purity to control the selectivity of chemical reactions. When such …

The absorption spectrum of trifluoromethane has been recorded between 900 and 14 000
cm− 1 with resolutions between 0.004 and 0.5 cm− 1 (pressure broadened). 22 bands were …

The recent advent of laser techniques, in the visible, the Raman, and the infrared, has
enormously enlarged both the frequency range over which vibrational spectra havebeen …
