The ultrafast dynamics through conical intersections in 2,6-dimethylpyridine has been studied by femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron imaging coupled with time-resolved mass spectroscopy. Upon absorption of 266 nm pump laser, 2,6-dimethylpyridine is excited to the S 2 state with a ππ * character from S 0 state. The time evolution of the parent ion signals consists of two exponential decays. One is a fast component on a timescale of 635 fs and the other is a slow component with a timescale of 4.37 ps. Time-dependent photoelectron angular distributions and energy-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy are extracted from time-resolved photoelectron imaging and provide the evolutive information of S 2 state. In brief, the ultrafast component is a population transfer from S 2 to S 1 through the S 2 /S 1 conical intersections, the slow component is attributed to simultaneous IC from the S 2 state and the higher vibrational levels of S 1 state to S 0 state, which involves the coupling of S 2 /S 0 and S 1 /S 0 conical intersections. Additionally, the observed ultrafast S 2 →S 1 transition occurs only with an 18% branching ratio.
