N. Pugliano et al., WAVE-PACKET DYNAMICS OF THE HGI2 PHOTODISSOCIATION REACTION IN SOLUTION, The Journal of chemical physics, 99(9), 1993, pp. 7273-7276
Using femtosecond absorption spectroscopy, the photodissociation dynam
ics of HgI2 in solution were investigated. Upon photolysis, the HgI fr
agment is formed in a coherent superposition of its vibrational states
. Solvent dependence of the wave packet motion is evidenced by the dif
ferent results for ethanol and DMSO and between solution and gas phase
.
