Journal ArticleDOI
Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy of the Torsional Motions of 1,4-Bis(phenylethynyl)benzene
Stuart J. Greaves,Emma L. Flynn,Emma L. Futcher,Eckart Wrede,Donocadh P. Lydon,Paul J. Low,Simon R. Rutter,Andrew Beeby +7 more
TL;DR: The torsional motions of jet-cooled 1,4-bis(phenylethynyl)benzene (BPEB), a prototype molecular wire, were studied using cavity ring-down spectroscopy in the first UV absorption band (316-321 nm).
Journal ArticleDOI
Vibrationally quantum-state-specific reaction dynamics of H atom abstraction by CN radical in solution
Stuart J. Greaves,Rebecca A. Rose,Thomas A. A. Oliver,David R. Glowacki,Michael N. R. Ashfold,Jeremy N. Harvey,Ian P. Clark,Gregory M. Greetham,Anthony W. Parker,Michael Towrie,Andrew J. Orr-Ewing +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the nascent HCN products of reaction of CN radicals with cyclohexane in chlorinated organic solvents exhibit preferential excitation of one quantum of the C-H stretching mode and up to two quanta of the bending mode.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrafast energy flow in the wake of solution-phase bimolecular reactions
TL;DR: Molecular dynamics simulations are used to model the vibrational relaxation that occurs during the reaction CN + c-C-C(6)H(12) → HCN +-c- C(6]H(11) in CH(2)Cl(2), which produces vibrationally hot HCN, and show that HCN relaxation follows multiple timescales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vibrational excitation through tug-of-war inelastic collisions
Stuart J. Greaves,Eckart Wrede,Noah T. Goldberg,Jianyang Zhang,Daniel Miller,Richard N. Zare +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that this ‘tug of war’ between H and D2 is a new mechanism for vibrational excitation that should play a role in all neutral–neutral collisions where strong attraction can develop between the collision partners.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vibrational relaxation and microsolvation of DF after F-atom reactions in polar solvents
Greg T. Dunning,David R. Glowacki,Thomas J. Preston,Stuart J. Greaves,Gregory M. Greetham,Ian P. Clark,Michael Towrie,Jeremy N. Harvey,Andrew J. Orr-Ewing +8 more
TL;DR: It is reported that exothermic reactions of fluorine (F) atoms in d3-acetonitrile and d2-dichloromethane involve efficient energy flow to vibrational motion of the deuterium fluoride (DF) product that competes with dissipation of the energy to the solvent bath, despite strong solvent coupling.
