From a quantum mechanical perspective, most molecular systems can be reduced to certain simple discrete level structures. Many properties of such multilevel systems do not depend on their exact nature, e.g. vibrational or electronic. While reflecting distinctly different physics, one common feature is the possibility to excite a coherent superposition of energy eigenstates, referred to as a wavepacket. As shown in numerous recent studies on natural light harvesting complexes, two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2D-ES) has a unique disposition for the study of such coherences due to its ability to resolve cross peaks. We identify and describe vibrational and vibronic modulations in electronic 2D-spectra in experimental studies on monomers and molecular J-aggregates. We discuss coherences in coupled molecular aggregates involving both electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom. We conclude that a general distinguishing criterion based on the experimental data alone cannot be devised.
