The ultrafast dissociation of vinyl bromide after strong-field excitation is characterized experimentally and theoretically.
After a multiphoton excitation of the ππ* transition, the relaxation process is illuminated via Attosecond Transient Absorption Spectroscopy (ATAS) using the bromine M-edge.
Using non-adiabatic molecular dynamics at the complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) level of theory including singlet and triplet states we simulated the dissociation after excitation to the bright π π* state.
For the calculation of the XUV absorption spectra the bromine 3d core-excited states as well as the valence excited states of vinyl bromide were computed using the restricted active space perturbation theory (RASPT2).
Combining the structural information from the dynamics simulation with the calculated XUV spectra we are able to simulate the corresponding time-dependent transient absorption spectrum of vinyl bromide.
The simulated spectrum shows a good agreement with the experimental ATAS trace in the relevant energy range.
