The intramolecular vibrational redistribution (IVR) dynamics following the excitation of a mode in the first electronically excited states of toluene, toluene-d3 and p-fluorotoluene that has predominantly C–CH3 stretching character and an internal energy of ∼1200 cm−1 have been compared using picosecond time-resolved photoelectron imaging spectroscopy as a probe. Temporal changes in the intensities of spectral features in each molecule have enabled IVR lifetimes of 12, 15 and 50 ps, respectively, to be determined. Our measurements show that doorway states are critical in mediating the IVR dynamics in toluene and toluene-d3, and we deduce that these doorway states, which are assigned in the course of this work, are also instrumental in reducing the IVR lifetimes of these molecules relative to p-fluorotoluene.

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.
