Journal ArticleDOI
Excited-state hydrogen detachment and hydrogen transfer driven by repulsive 1πσ* states: A new paradigm for nonradiative decay in aromatic biomolecules
TL;DR: In this article, the authors combined results of ab initio electronic-structure calculations and spectroscopic investigations of jet-cooled molecules and clusters provide strong evidence of a surprisingly simple and general mechanistic picture of the nonradiative decay of biomolecules such as nucleic bases and aromatic amino acids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Orbitally selective chemical reaction in Hg–H2 van der Waals complexes
TL;DR: In this paper, the reaction dynamics of halfcollisions in systems where full-collision chemical dynamics can also be studied were investigated by selective laser excitation of an atom-molecule van der Waals complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrafast deactivation mechanisms of protonated aromatic amino acids following UV excitation

TL;DR: The variation of the excited state lifetime between TrpH+ and TyrH+ can be ascribed to energy differences between the dissociative pi sigma* state and the initially excited pi pi* state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excited state hydrogen transfer dynamics in substituted phenols and their complexes with ammonia: ππ∗-πσ∗ energy gap propensity and ortho-substitution effect
Gustavo A. Pino,A. N. Oldani,Ernesto Marceca,Masaaki Fujii,Shun-ichi Ishiuchi,Mitsuhiko Miyazaki,Michel Broquier,Claude Dedonder,Christophe Jouvet +8 more
TL;DR: Lifetimes of the first electronic excited state of fluorine and methyl substituted phenols and their complexes with one ammonia molecule have been measured and a specific shortening of lifetime is found in the o-fluorophenol-ammonia complex, which suggests that the major dynamics in the excited state concerns an excited state hydrogen detachment or transfer (ESHD/T).
Journal ArticleDOI
The structure of several electronic states of the Hg-Ar complex as determined by laser double resonance in a supersonic jet
TL;DR: In this paper, the electronic states of the Hg-Ar complex have been studied in a supersonic free jet expansion using a laser double resonance technique, and the binding energies can be related simply to the average orientation of the 6p mercury orbital with respect to the internuclear axis.
