We report new, detailed, femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy experiments and calculations investigating the competition between ultrafast internal conversion and ultrafast intersystem crossing in electronically and vibrationally excited benzene at the onset of “channel 3”. Using different probe energies to record the total photoelectron yield as a function of pump–probe delay we are able to confirm that S1, T1 and T2 electronic states are involved in the excited state dynamics. Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy measurements then allow us to unravel the evolution of the S1, T1 and T2 components of the excited state population and, together with complementary quantum chemistry and quantum dynamics calculations, support our earlier proposal that ultrafast intersystem crossing competes with internal conversion (Chem. Phys. Lett., 2009, 469, 43).

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

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.
