“…Furthermore, it provides deeper insights into the reaction mechanism of the excimer formation. Typically, vibrational dephasing in the excited state can be affected by several factors, such as 1) population decay of the state where VCs are generated, [53] 2) vibrational relaxation (vibrational cooling or intramolecular vibrational redistribution), [51] 3) (an)harmonicity of the potential [60] , 4) vibronic coupling of the reaction [55] . Here, the first factor can easily be ruled out, because excimer formation is not simple population kinetics between the two diabatic states and also not as an internal conversion (see below), for instance, from the S 2 to S 1 states.…”
