In this thesis, we exploited optical and X-ray pump-probe methods in a synergistic approach to study the interplay of the electronic, spin and structural degrees of freedom in two class of complex systems relevant for solar energy conversion applications: ...
In homogeneous catalysis, the main emphasis on improving catalyst performance (rate, yield and selectivity) is directed towards manipulation of the ligands. The steric and electronic effects of ligands are extremely well understood and the rational design ...
The excited state non-adiabatic dynamics of polyatomic molecules, leading to the coupling of structural and electronic dynamics, is a fundamentally important yet challenging problem for both experiment and theory. Ongoing developments in ultrafast extreme ...
The photocycle of rhenium carbonyl complexes, type facial-[Re(L)(CO)3(diimine)]n [L=halide / n=0, L=4-Ethyl-pyridine (Etpy)- Imidazole (ImH) /n=+1, diimine= bpy , 10- phenanthroline (phen), 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bpy (dmb)] was studied using a set of ultrafast ...
Solvation dynamics, the process of solvent reorganization upon electronic excitation of a solute, is central to our understanding chemical reactions in liquid phase. Ultrafast optical studies of solvation dynamics have so far been carried out on polyatomic ...
Over the last decade, ultrafast time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) has evolved to be now a mature and well-established experimental technique, giving extremely detailed information about the local geometrical and electronic structure in the ...
The photophysics and excited-state dynamics of two dyads consisting of either a free-base or a zinc-tetraphenylporphyrin linked through a rigid bridge to a core-substituted naphthalenediimide (NDI) have been investigated by femtosecond-resolved spectroscop ...
The excited-state dynamics of a series of electron donor−acceptor bridged systems (DABS) consisting of a boron−dipyrromethene chromophore covalently linked to a dinitro-substituted triptycene has been investigated using femtosecond time-resolved spectrosco ...
The ability to visualize molecular structure in the course of a chemical reaction or a biological function has been a dream of scientists for decades. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is ideal in this respect because it is chemically selective and can b ...
L2,3 x-ray absorption spectra of aq. [RuII(bpy)3]2+ were recorded in its ground and excited states, 50 ps after short pulse laser excitation. Significant changes in both the XANES (x-ray Near-Edge Absorption Structure) and the EXAFS (Extended x-ray Absorpt ...
