Abstract:
The kinetics of ultrafast photoinduced structural changes in linkage isomers
is investigated using Na2[Fe(CN)5NO] as a model complex. The buildup of the
metastable side-on configuration of the NO ligand, as well as the electronic
energy levels of ground, excited, and metastable states, has been revealed by
means of time-resolved extreme UV (XUV) photoelectron spectroscopy in aqueous
solution, aided by theoretical calculations. Evidence of a short-lived
intermediate state in the isomerization process and its nature are discussed,
finding that the complete isomerization process occurs in less than 240 fs
after photoexcitation.
