King, A.Bellm, S.Hammond, C.Reid, K.Towrie, M.Matousek, P.2010-02-112010-02-112005Molecular Physics: An International Journal at the Interface Between Chemistry and Physics, 2005; 103(13):1821-18270026-89761362-3028http://hdl.handle.net/2440/56112Available online: 04 Mar 2011Preliminary findings are reported following the detailed analysis of intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution (IVR) in S1 para-fluorotoluene following the excitation of one quantum in the CF stretching mode ν7. It is shown that the method proposed has the potential to enable not only the determination of a rate constant for IVR, but also the identification of the dark states into which energy has redistributed. In addition energy flow has been observed from a bright state (111) previously thought to be below the onset for IVR in this molecule, and evidence of mode-specificity in the IVR process.en© 2005 Taylor & Francis Group LtdJournal article002009247410.1080/002689705000961032-s2.0-2794449119837691
