利用时间分辨的飞秒光电子影像技术结合时间分辨的质谱技术, 研究了2-氯吡啶分子激发态的超快过程. 实时观察到了2-氯吡啶分子第二激发态(S2)向第一激发态(S1)高振动能级的的超快内转换过程,该内转换的时间常数为(162±5)fs. 实验结果表明, 通过S2/S0的锥形交叉衰减到基态的衰减通道也是退布居的重要通道, 其时间尺度为(5.5±0.3) ps.
Ultrafast internal conversion dynamics of 2-chloropyridine were studied by femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron imaging spectroscopy coupled with time-resolved mass spectroscopy. The ultrafast internal conversion from the second excited state (S2) to the first excited state (S1) via an adjacent conical intersection within (162±5) fs was clearly observed from the time-dependence of the photoelectron spectra. The subsequent deactivations involved the coupling of S2/S0 (the ground state) and S1/S0 conical intersections, which occurred on a timescale of about (5.5±0.3) ps, and led to the internal conversion to the ground state from the S2 and S1 states.
