Abstract

In the photochemical [1,7]-sigmatropic H shift in 1,3,5-cycloheptatriene (CHT) and its 7-methyl derivative, we can distinguish three consecutive phases in the excited states, all of them having time constants <100 fs. The ultrafast rates prove a continuous pathway from the initially excited 1 A″ state via the dark state 2 A′ to the ground-state surface via two easily accessible conical intersections. We assign the first two times (10 and 60 fs in CHT) to travelling through two regions of 1 A″ and the third (70 fs in CHT) to the departure from 2 A′ and repopulation of the ground state. Perdeuteration of 7-methyl-CHT only lengthens the times for region 2 and 3 (by a factor of 1.5). So, the direction of motion changes after region 1 (Franck–Condon region), only then involving the hydrogen. We suggest that the geometries of both conical intersections are displaced from that of the ground state along two coordinates: one which is Franck–Condon active (a′ CC stretch+torsion) and one (a″) which shifts an H of the CH2 group.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
