Ultrafast coherent vibrational dynamics in dimethyl methylphosphonate radical cation
Literature Information

Femtosecond pump–probe measurements of the nerve agent simulant dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) demonstrate the preparation of a robust coherent vibrational state in the corresponding radical cation. The oscillations in the transient ion yields have a period of 45 fs (750 cm−1), which is at least 3 times faster than any previously observed oscillations in polyatomic radical cations. Use of 1200–1600 nm, as opposed to 800 nm, wavelengths for ionization increases the oscillation amplitude by a factor of 5 and doubles the number of visible oscillation periods from 6 to 12, indicating that an adiabatic ionization mechanism significantly enhances preparation of the coherent state. The coherent motion is assigned to a bending mode in DMMP+ with frequency in the range of 742.2–754.7 cm−1 based on the results of DFT calculations. The observation of coherent nuclear dynamics in the dissociation of DMMP+ suggests the potential utility of coherent control schemes for controlling the dissociation of DMMP and related molecules, which has important implications for developing detection and decontamination technologies for organophosphorus chemical warfare agents.

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.
