The photo tautomerisations of ortho-nitrotoluene (oNT) and its methylated derivative ortho-ethylnitrobenzene (oENB) have been studied by means of femtosecond spectroscopy and (TD)-DFT computations. In UV/Vis transient absorption spectroscopy a band peaking at 400 nm is seen to rise in a bi-modal manner with time constants of 1–10 ps and 1500 ps. Femtosecond stimulated Raman experiments clearly identify aci-nitro forms as the spectroscopic carriers of the 400 nm band. The assignment of the Raman spectra is based on TD-DFT computations. The quantum yields of the aci-nitro forms after 3 ns are 0.08 (oNT) and 0.3 (oENB). The aci-nitro forms are formed via a singlet channel (1–10 ps) and a triplet channel (1500 ps). There are indications that the triplet channel involves a bi-radical intermediate. In between 3 ns and 1 ms the spectrum of the aci-nitro form shifts from 400 to 390 nm. This could indicate a tautomerisation from Z-aci-nitro to an E form.

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.
