Femtosecond Solvent Motions in Liquids with "Slow" or "Fast" Relaxation

Abstract

There has been much recent attention given to understanding the effects of ultrafast solvent relaxation dynamics on the rates of chemical reactions in solution. For certain adiabatic electron-transfer reactions, the reaction coordinate is closely identified with the solvent relaxation coordinate1. Many of the rapid motions occurring in room temperature solution have previously been characterized individually. What we present are new femtosecond nonlinear optical spectroscopy results on some of the liquids thought to have "slow" relaxation, namely triacetin (CH3CO2CH2)2CH(O2CCH3) and ethylene glycol (1,2 ethanediol).
