Abstract
Mn-2(CO)(10) photolysis with UV photons is studied through transient t ransmission in the 500 nm product band, conducted with 100 fs time res olution. Evolution of absorbance and its anisotropy probe continued co herent nuclear motion, leading to emergence of Mn-2(CO)(9) through the loss of CO, followed by carbonyl bridging between the metal atoms wit hin a picosecond. A simplified MO scheme is presented to rationalize t hese results.
