UV multiphoton excitation: An access to the energy dependence of unimolecular reactions and collisional energy transfer

Article abstract of DOI:10.1063/1.453905

Repetitive absorption of UV (or visible) photons followed by fast internal conversions allows to deposit large amounts of vibrational energy in polyatomic molecules.Intra- and intermolecular processes with relatively weak energy dependences can be studied by this excitation over broad energy ranges.The technique is illustrated for the unimolecular isomerization azulene<*> naphthalene and collisional energy transfer of vibrationally excited azulene.With ns excimer laser pulses, up to three photons at λ = 308 nm were deposited in the molecule, and collisional quenching competing with isomerization was studied.The results can be modeled conveniently by a multistep mechanism.
