Abstract

The transient absorption of 1,3,5-tri-tert-butyl-pentalene in cyclohexane solution has been measured at room temperature exciting at 340 nm with femtosecond pulses. Two relaxation processes have been determined, the first, very rapid, with time constant 650 fs and the second, occurring on a picosecond timescale, with estimated decay time 13 ps. The former is due to the vibronic relaxation from upper S3 levels to the S3 minimum, the latter to the decay from S3 to S0. This interpretation is in good agreement with results of ab initio calculations on pentalene and its alkyl derivatives, 1,3,5-tri-ethyl, 1,3,5-tri-sec-propyl and 1,3,5-tri-tert-butyl. MCSCF/CAS calculations, perturbatively corrected within the scheme of quasi-degenerate perturbation theory (QDPT), of vertical S0 → Sn excitation energies allow us to study the dependence of excitation energies on substitution. Calculated S3 → Sn and S4 → Sn absorption spectra of pentalene at the S0, S3 and S4 equilibrium geometries indicate that vibronic levels of S3 rather than of S4 are excited by the strong pump pulse with subsequent decay within this state.

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.
