Nuclear wavepacket motion in ultrafast chemical reactions in solution — •Tahei Tahara, Satoshi Takeuchi, and Kunihiko Ishii — Molecular Spectroscopy Laboratory, RIKEN, 2-1 Hirosawa, Wako 351-0198, Japan

Thanks to the improvement of ultrashort-pulse lasers, we are now able to directly observe nuclear wavepacket motion of excited-state polyatomic molecules in solution. We chose cis-stilbene, diphenylcyclopropenone and 10-hydroxybenzoquinoline that undergo prototypical ultrafast photochemical reactions (isomerization, dissociation and proton transfer, respectively), and carried out ultraviolet-visible two-color pump-probe experiments with time-resolution of 30 - 70 fs. In each system, we successfully observed the nuclear wavepacket motion of the excited state. We discuss the assignment of the motions observed and their relevance to the reaction coordinate [1,2].
