T1 - Femtosecond mid-infrared study of the aqueous solution photochemistry of a CO-releasing molecule (CORM) JF - EPJ Web of Conferences N2 - Ultraviolet irradiation of CO-releasing molecules (CORMs) in water eventually leads to the loss of several carbon monoxide ligands.We show for an exemplary manganese tricarbonyl CORM that only one ligand is photolyzed off on an ultrafast timescale and that some molecules may undergo geminate recombination.

T1 - Exploring higher-lying electronic states of a molecular switch by coherent triggered-exchange 2D electronic spectroscopy JF - EPJ Web of Conferences N2 - We use pump-repump-probe transient absorption spectroscopy to investigate the role of higher-lying electronic states in the photochemistry of a molecular switch. Moreover, replacing the pump pulse by a pulse-shaper-generated phase-stable double pulse, triggered-exchange two-dimensional (TE2D) electronic spectroscopy is established in the visible regime.

T1 - Precise and rapid detection of optical activity for accumulative femtosecond spectroscopy JF - EPJ Web of Conferences N2 - We present a fast and sensitive polarimeter combining common-path optical heterodyne interferometry and accumulative spectroscopy to detect rotatory power. The sensitivity of rotatory detection is determined to be 0.10 milli-degrees for a measurement time of only one second and an interaction length of 250 µm. Its suitability for femtosecond studies is demonstrated in a non-resonant two-photon photodissociation experiment.
