Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution (IVR) is of central interest in chemistry because it described energy in polyatomic molecules with consequent implications for the understanding of reaction rates & the possibility of bond-selective chemistry. An ongoing problem of fundamental importance is to understand mechanisms of IVR & and to find experimental techniques that can distinguish between possible mechanisms in a recent experiment we have demonstrated that picosecond time-resolved photoelectron angular distributions provide a sensitive probe of an evolving alignment in a polyatomic molecule & therefore are sensitive to the role of molecular rotation in IVR. In this proposal we seek to exploit this method & apply it to a number of different polyatomic molecules with a view to gaining a deeper & more general understanding of IVR processes.
