Ultrafast Dynamics of Benzene on the <i>S</i>₂ State Investigated by Femtosecond Time-Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy

“…When molecules were excited to 3000 cm -1 above the S 1 state, the decay rate had a sudden increase, which may be caused by a fast intramolecular vibrational redistribution or an intersystem crossing from the optical bright state to the dark state. [1][2][3][4][5] Recently, Parker et al 13,25 studied the ultrafast dynamics of excited state S 1 of benzene using time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy at the onset of "channel 3". After exciting the No.9 SHEN Huan et al: Ultrafast Dynamics of Benzene on the S 2 State benzene molecule by one 243 nm photon, an ultrafast intersystem crossing from the initially populated S 1 state to the optical dark triplet states T 1 and T 2 has been observed.…”

“…19 Initially, internal conversion from S 1 state to S 0 state was proposed to be responsible for the increasing decay. 4,11 Lately, intersystem crossing to triplet state was also found to be important in this decay process. 12,13 In addition to the S 1 state, S 2 state is another focus of the study.…”

“…The excited-state dynamics of benzene have received a lot of attention since benzene is the prototype of aromatic molecules. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] In the UV region, the first absorption band is located 17 The second absorption band is located around 200 nm. It is a broad bump without distinguishable structure.…”
