In dieser Arbeit wurde das Dissoziationsverhalten kleiner organischer Kohlenwasserstoffradikale untersucht. Zum einen wurde die dissoziative Photoionisation des Allyl-, Propargyl- und Ethylradikals durch die Verbindung einer herkömmlichen, gepulsten Pyrolysequelle mit Synchrotronstrahlung untersucht. Zum anderen wurden von verschiedenen Propyl- und Butyl-Radikalisomeren die Raten des Wasserstoffverlustes bei Anregung mit 239 nm gemessen. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Kombination einer gepulsten Radikalquelle mit Synchrotronstrahlung technisch umsetzbar ist. Der Vorteil dieser Methode liegt darin, dass es möglich ist, die Radikale über einen kontinuierlichen Energiebereich von mehreren eV innerhalb kurzer Zeit zu betrachten, was mit einem normalen Labor-Aufbau mit Farbstofflasern nicht möglich ist. So konnten anhand von Photoelektronenspektren und Photoionisationseffizienzkurven die Ionisierungsenergie des Allyl-, des Propargyl- und des Ethyl-Radikals in guter Übereinstimmung zu älteren Literaturdaten bestätigt werden. Anhand von Messungen zur dissoziativen Photoionisation konnte gezeigt werden, dass das Allyl und das Ethyl wie angenommen ein Wasserstoff-Molekül abspalten. Beim Allyl gibt es hierbei zwei mögliche Dissoziationsprodukte: das Cyclopropyl- und das Propargyl-Kation. Einfache RRKM-Rechnungen deuten darauf hin, dass bei geringen Überschussenergien das Cyclopropenyl-, bei größeren hingegen bevorzugt das Propargyl-Kation gebildet wird. Das Ethyl-System besitzt einen nicht-klassischen, überbrückten ionischen Zustand. Die dissoziative Photoionisation führt zum Vinyl-Kation und setzt bei deutlich höheren Energien ein, als von der Theorie vorhergesagt. Alle Erklärungsversuche sind unbefriedigend, daher sollten hier weitere experimentelle und theoretische Untersuchungen angeschlossen werden. Die dissoziative Photoionisation des Propargyl-Radikals besitzt, theoretischen Berechnungen zufolge, zwei konkurrierende Zerfallskanäle. Wie die Experimente jedoch zeigten, erfolgt nur die Abspaltung von H unter Bildung des Cyclopropenyliden-Kations im vorhergesagten Energiebereich. Der Konkurrenzprozess, Bildung von Propinyliden und H$_2$, setzt erst bei deutlich höheren Photonenenergien ein. Daneben konnte erstmals der Dreikörperzerfall des Propargylbromids und des Ethyliodids zum Propinyliden- respektive Vinyl-Kation beobachtet und die Auftrittsenergien bestimmt werden. Diese stimmen gut mit den thermochemischen Vorhersagen überein. In Zukunft ist geplant, mit ZEKE-Spektroskopie die Ionisierungsenergien der untersuchten Radikale exakt zu bestimmen. Insbesondere beim Ethyl-Radikal mit seinem nicht-klassischen Verhalten muss noch viel geklärt werden. Des Weiteren ist geplant, weitere Experimente am Synchrotron durchzuführen. Denkbar wäre hier, Ionen in definierten, schwingungsangeregten Zuständen zu erzeugen und an ihnen Ionen-Molekül-Reaktionen durchzuführen. Ausgehend von den jeweiligen Azoalkanen wurden die Wasserstoff-Disso"-zia"-tions"-raten der \n-Propyl-, \n-Butyl- und \sec-Butyl-Radikale bei einer Anregungswellenlänge von 239 nm gemessen. Ähnlich wie dies bereits bei früheren Messungen am \tert-Butyl- und Ethyl-Radikal der Fall war, waren diese Raten um 2--3 Größenordnungen schneller als von einfachen RRKM-Rechnungen vorhergesagt. %Eine mögliche Erklärung wäre ein konkurrierender %Deaktivierungskanal, z.B.\ der C--C-Bindungsbruch im Radikal. Da %jedoch der Wasserstoffverlust von einem der Spaltprodukte nicht in %einem Einphotonenprozess zu bewerkstelligen ist, muss dieser Kanal %ausgeschlossen werden. Ein anderer, noch sehr spekulativer %Erklärungsversuch geht von einem langlebigen 3p-Zustand, der ein %Minimum in der Geometrie mit einer verlängerten C--C-Bindung %darstellt, aus. Koppelt dieser Zustand mit dem darunterliegenden %3s-Zustand, kann es zur Deaktivierung kommen, jedoch nur, wenn die %Überschussenergie ausreichend groß ist. Dies würde das Verhalten der %Dissoziationsrate bei den Propyl- und Butyl-Radikalisomeren sowie dem %Ethylradikal erklären. Es wurde eine sehr spekulative Erklärung vorgestellt, die dieses Verhalten erklären könnte. Die vorliegenden Daten können diese Theorie aber weder bestätigen noch widerlegen. Es sieht jedoch so aus, als ob diese Diskrepanz zwischen Theorie und Experiment ein allgemeines Phänomen in Alkylradikalen darstellt. Um diese Theorie weiter zu erhärten, kann man einerseits noch weitere Alkylradikale untersuchen, ob sie ähnliche Differenzen zwischen Experiment und Theorie zeigen. Andererseits sollten auch bei den Propyl- und Butylradikalen Experimente mit unterschiedlichen Anregungswellenlängen durchgeführt werden um zu klären, ob sie sich analog zum \tert-Butyl- und Ethylradikal verhalten.
The studies presented in this thesis deal with resonant and non-resonant excitation of free variable size clusters using synchrotron radiation in the soft X-ray regime. The post collision interaction (PCI) effect is investigated in free variable size krypton and argon clusters near the Kr 3d and Ar 2p ionization energies. The core ionization energies of surface and bulk sites in variable size clusters can be clearly distinguished. This is mostly due to the polarization screening. It is found that the asymmetry, which is a consequence of PCI, is characteristically smaller for clusters than for isolated atoms. Moreover, there is less asymmetry for bulk sites than for surface sites in variable size rare gas clusters. We assign the results in terms of mechanisms that are based on quantum mechanical models of post collision interaction. Complementary experiments on the photoionization of free van der Waals clusters are performed by using zero kinetic energy (ZEKE) photoelectron spectroscopy in the Ar 2p-, Kr 3d-, Ne 1s-, and N2-regimes. The experimental approach is also suitable to detect cluster size dependent changes in electronic structure. This also allows us to study post collision interaction in variable size clusters. The parameters of the PCI profiles deduced for ZEKE experiments indicate that there are no significant changes in core ionization dynamics compared to near-threshold experiments. Results from model calculations in Kr 3d ionization energy indicate that different geometric sites can be clearly distinguished from each other by their substantial shift in Kr 3d ionization energy, though the dimer shows almost the same Kr 3d ionization energy as the free atom. A comparison with the experimental results indicates that there is resemblance with the model calculations, even though close-lying ionization energies are blended and require deconvolutions of the experimental spectra. It is evident from the present work that one can observe distinct shifts in core ionization energies in van der Waals clusters that are formed in wide size distributions of a jet expansion. The emission of ultraviolet fluorescence radiation from variable size argon clusters is investigated with high spectral resolution in the Ar 2p-excitation regime. The fluorescence excitation spectra reveal strong fluorescence intensity in the Ar 2p-continuum, but no evidence for the occurrence of discrete low-lying core-exciton states in the near-edge regime. This finding is different from the absorption and photoionization cross sections of argon clusters and the solid. The dispersed fluorescence shows a broad molecular band centered near 280 nm. The present results are consistent with the formation of singly charged, excited moieties within the clusters, which are assigned as sources of the radiative relaxation in the 280 nm regime. A fast energy transfer process (interatomic Coulombic decay, ICD) is assigned to be primarily the origin of these singly charged, excited cations besides intra-cluster electron impact ionization by Auger electrons. Our findings give possibly the first experimental evidence for ICD in the core level regime. Free, variable size nitrogen clusters are investigated in the N 1s excitation regime in comparison with the free molecule and solid nitrogen. The conversion of Rydberg states into core excitons, surface and bulk, was studied. The experimental results are simulated by ab initio calculations using (N2)13 as a reasonable prototype cluster structure that allows us to simulate both surface and bulk properties in comparison with the isolated molecule. The present results clearly show that there are specific properties, such as molecular orientation, in molecular van der Waals clusters, which do not exist in atomic van der Waals clusters. It is shown that inner and outer surface sites give rise to distinct energy shifts of the low lying surface core excitons.
In the experiments presented in this work, linear and non-linear femtosecond time-resolved spectrsocopy were applied to investigate the structure-function and functiondynamics relationship in biological and artificially designed systems. The experiments presented in this work utilize femtosecond time-resolved transient absorption and transient grating as well as picosecond time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy to investigate the photophysics and photochemistry of biological photoreceptors and address the light-induced excited-state processes in a particular molecular device that serves as a - structurally - very simple light-harvesting antenna and potentially as a catalysis-switch for the production of hydrogen in solution. The combination of white-light probe transient absorption and coherent transient grating spectroscopies yields spectral information about the excited state absorption in concert with high quality, high signal-to-noise kinetic transients, which allow for precise fitting and therefore very accurate time-constants to be extracted from the data. The use of femtosecond time-resolved transient grating spectroscopy is relatively uncommon in addressing questions concerning the excited-state reaction pathways of complex (biological) systems, and therefore the experiments presented in this work constitute according to the literature the first studies applying this technique to a a metalloporphyrin and an artificial light-harvesting antenna.
Nonlinear frequency conversion of low-energy fs laser pulses was investigated in solid-state media. Raman conversion in the white-light-free regime of impulsive stimulated Raman scattering was achieved by pumping KGW crystal with Bessel beam. Efficient supercontinuum generation was demonstrated for sub-microjule pulses focused into microstructure fiber. Application of four-wave mixing techniques to monitoring of the excited-state dynamics in polyatomic molecules was demonstrated. Time constants of the processes related to vibrational energy redistribution upon the initial photoexcitation of stilbene-3 were determined by means of pump-CARS technique, where CARS process served as an effective mode-selective filter. Spectral as well as temporal properties of electronic relaxation pathway in azulene derivatives were explored by using transient population gratings and pump-probe transient absorption techniques.
In this work a new algorithm to determine quantum control fields from the instantaneous response of systems has been developed. The derived fields allow to establish a direct connection between the applied perturbation and the molecular dynamics. The principle is most easily illustrated in regarding a classical forced oscillator. A particle moving inside the respective potential is accelerated if an external field is applied acting in the same direction as its momentum (heating). In contrary, a deceleration is achieved by a field acting in the opposite direction as the momentum (cooling). Furthermore, when the particle reaches a classical turning point and then changes its direction, the sign of the field has to be changed to further drive the system in the desired way. The frequency of the field therefore is in resonance with the oscillator. This intuitively clear picture of a driven classical oscillator can be used for directing (or controlling) quantum mechanical wave packet motion. The efficiency of the instantaneous dynamics algorithm was demonstrated in treating various model problems, the population transfer in double well potentials, excitation and dissociation of selective modes, and the population transfer between electronic states. Although it was not tried to optimize the fields to gain higher yields, the control was found to be very efficient. Driving population transfer in a double well potential could be shown to take place with nearly 100% efficiency. It was shown that selective dissociation within the electronic ground state of HOD can be performed by either maximizing a selected coordinate's differential momentum change or the energy absorption. Concerning the population transfer into excited electronic states, a direct comparison with common control algorithms as optimal control theory and genetic algorithms was accomplished using a one-dimensional representation of methyl iodide. The fields derived from the various control theories were effective in transferring population into the chosen target state but the underlying physical background of the derived optimal fields was not obvious to explain. The instantaneous dynamics algorithm allowed to establish a direct relation between the derived fields and the underlying molecular dynamics. Bound-to-bound transitions could be handled more effectively. This was demonstrated on the sodium dimer in a representation of 3 electronic states being initially in its vibronic ground state. The objective was to transfer population into a predefined excited state. Choosing the first or the second state as a target, the control fields exhibited quite different features. The pulse-structure is related to the excited state wave packet, moving in, and out of the Franck-Condon region. Changing the control objective, the derived control field performed pure electronic transitions on a fast time-scale via a two-step transition. Futhermore, orientational effects have been investigated. The overall-efficiency of the population transfer for differently oriented molecules was about 70 % or more if applying a control field derived for a 45° orientation. Spectroscopic methods to gain information about the outcome of the control process have been investigated. It was shown that pump/probe femtosecond ionization spectroscopy is suited to monitor time-dependent molecular probability distributions. In particular, time-dependent photoelectron spectra are able to monitor the population in the various electronic states. In the last chapter a different possibility of controlling molecules was regarded by investigating molecular iodine with a setup similar to the STIRAP (“Stimulated Raman Adiabatic passage”) scenario. The possibility to extend this technique to a fs-time scale was examined in theory as well as in experiments, the latter being performed by Dr. Torsten Siebert in the Kiefer group, University of Würzburg. It was shown that off-resonant excitation with implementation of the pulses with a higher intensity of the Stokes pulse as compared to the pump pulse - describing a so-called f-STIRAP like configuration - was shown to effectively transfer population into excited ground-state vibrational levels. This was theoretically underlined by comparing the numerically exact coupling case with the adiabatic picture. The process was described to run in the vicinity of adibaticity. A new model explaining the process by the system's vector rotating around the dressed state vector will be adopted in future calculations. Altogether, a new promising algorithm to control dynamical processes based on the instantaneous response has been developed. Because the derived control fields have been shown to be very efficient in selectively influencing molecules, it is to be expected that farther reaching applications can be realized in future investigations.
Gegenstand dieser Arbeit ist die Untersuchung von gespeicherten Nanopartikeln mit weicher Röntgenstrahlung. Dafür wurde eine neue Apparatur aufgebaut. In dieser befindet sich ein dreidimensionaler elektrodynamischer Quadrupolspeicher, mit dem die positiv geladenen Nanopartikel berührungsfrei und ortsfest gespeichert werden. Mit Hilfe eines Streulichtnachweises werden die Eigenbewegungen der Partikel gemessen und daraus das Ladungs- zu Masseverhältnis ermittelt. Durch gezielte Umladung können die absolute Ladung und die Masse der Partikel mit hoher Genauigkeit bestimmt werden. Die gespeicherten Partikel wurden mit Synchrotronstrahlung am Elektronenspeicherring BESSY II untersucht. Bei niedrig geladenen Partikeln wurden Aufladungsexperimente mit variabler Photonenenergie durchgeführt. Dabei kann die Emission von einzelnen Elektronen beobachtet werden. Die totale Sekundärelektronenausbeute wurde für verschiedene Photonenenergien ermittelt. Sie gleicht den Werten, die durch Messungen mit Elektronenbeschuss bekannt sind. Die Partikel wurden weiterhin bis zum maximal erreichbaren Ladungszustand aufgeladen. Dieser Gleichgewichtszustand liegt unterhalb der theoretischen Erwartungen. Bei den hochgeladenen Partikeln wurden nach Abschalten der Synchrotronstrahlung Entladevorgänge beobachtet, die für das verminderte Ladungsgleichgewicht verantwortlich sind. Die Entladung wird als Ionen-Feldemission interpretiert, möglicherweise hervorgerufen durch den elektrischen Durchschlag im Teilchenmaterial. Das Aufladungsverhalten der Partikel bei verschiedenen Ladungszuständen wurde mit Hilfe von Messungen an der O 1s-Kante untersucht. Bei niedrigen Ladungszuständen liefert der Ladestrom die bekannten Röntgenabsorbtionsstrukturen von Siliziumdioxid. Stark geladene Partikel werden dagegen vor allem im Bereich der resonanten O 1s-Anregung durch schnelle Augerelektronen aufgeladen, während Photoelektronen aus dem O 1s-Kontinuum nicht mehr zur Aufladung beitragen. Deren kinetische Energie ist zu gering, um dem Coulombfeld des Partikels zu entkommen.
The enhancement of electronic and optical properties of semiconductor nanostructures is known as a direct consequence of the spatial confinement of carriers. However, the physics of quantum confinement is still not entirely understood. This work focuses on a qualitative study of quasi-zero dimensional II-VI semiconductor nanostructures (quantum dots QDs). In particular, commercially available as-received and heat treated CdSxSe1-x QDs embedded in a dielectric matrix were investigated by means of linear and nonlinear spectroscopy techniques. Low wavenumber Raman in off-resonance scattering regime was applied in order to obtain key-properties of the nanocrystals, such as the QD's size and the distribution of the QD's size inside the inhomogeneous broadening. Moreover, by careful selection of the polarization geometries, different acoustic vibrational modes could be evidenced. In comparison to the bulk, 3D confinement of carriers leads to modifications in the energy distribution in a QD and as a consequence, the intensity of the acoustical phonons is enhanced. However, only 2 acoustic vibrational modes (labelled l=0 and l=2) are Raman-active, which were selectively excited using linear polarized laser light in parallel- and cross-polarized excitation geometries. The QD's size was determined using the dependence of the frequency of the acoustic vibrational mode on the diameter of the vibrating particle, whereas the QD's size distribution was estimated from the normalized full width at the half of the maximum (FWHM) of the symmetric acoustic vibrational mode. In order to study relaxation mechanisms, which in quantum confined systems occur on a ps time scale, ultrafast spectroscopy techniques using laser pulses in the fs range must be employed. To this purpose, fs-FWM and fs-PPT measurements were performed on CdS0.6Se0.4 QDs of 9.1 nm in diameter, embedded in a glass matrix. The laser pulses employed in these experiments were circularly polarized, careful selection of the polarization geometries making different nonlinear processes available to study. It was shown that the relaxation of polarization selection rules depend strongly on the symmetry of the nanocrystals under discussion. The investigated nanocrystals belong to the symmetry group C2v or lower and their hexagonal crystal shape could be evidenced. The relaxation of selection rules was explained in the framework of the 4-level system, including a ground state, two exciton states and a biexcitons state. The appearance of FWM and PPT signals in forbidden polarization geometries was shown to be due to exciton state splitting due to lowering of the QD’s symmetry and due to the strong Coulomb interaction between carriers belonging to the same nanocrystal. Moreover, the significant difference in the origin of the gratings created by two pulses having the same and opposite polarizations, respectively. The intensity of the FWM signals should be the square of the intensity of the PPT signals and therefore the PPT measurements were employed as a check method for the results yielded by the FWM technique. The efficiency of circularly polarized femtosecond FWM spectroscopy techniques was proved once more in the investigation of heat treated CdSe QDs embedded in a dielectric matrix. The role of non-phonon energy relaxation mechanisms in the exciton ground and excited state of the QDs ensemble was extensively studied. Moreover, the dependence of the crystal shape asymmetry on the particle size and on the growth conditions could be estimated. It was shown, that the most efficient procedure to grow high quality nanocrystals is a longer heat treating at lower temperatures. In this case, the particles have more time to "nucleate" and to adopt a more "symmetric" shape. Further, the relaxation of excitons was extensively investigated. It was shown, that the electron intraband dynamics depend strongly on the Coulomb interaction between electrons and holes. Even at low excitation density, the Auger processes cannot be ignored. Auger autoionization of excitons followed by capture of carriers in surface states and deep traps in the dielectric matrix slow down the exciton relaxation process leading to an exciton lifetime ranging on a ps time scale. The relaxation of excitons from higher lying energy levels occurs also on two paths. At the beginning of the relaxation process (t31 < 400 fs), Auger-like thermalization of carriers is responsible for relaxation of the electron from 1pe into its 1se state, while the hole relaxes rapidly through its dense spectrum of states in the valence band. This process is immediately followed by capturing of carriers in deep traps, situated at the semiconductor-dielectric heterointerface. The traps are a consequence of the QD's asymmetry: the more and the deeper the traps, the higher the asymmetry of the nanocrystals (the band offset  is larger). This work presents a complete characterization of CdSSe QDs embedded in a glass matrix. The most important properties of the nanocrystals like QD's size and size distribution inside the inhomogeneous broadening were determined by means of low wavenumber Raman spectroscopy. In order to draw a full picture of these nanoparticles further complementary nonlinear spectroscopy techniques were used. Invaluable conclusions were available as a result of TI-FWM techniques applied in the framework of transient grating on 3D confined nanocrystals embedded in a glass matrix. The polarized the TI-FWM measurements were successfully performed on different QDs ensembles in order to determine symmetry properties and to describe the ultrafast relaxation mechanisms. This work brings additional contribution concerning the preparation of high quality QDs by presenting the effect of different growth conditions on the QDs symmetry, thus indicating a way for efficient manufacturing of nanocrystals.
Die Untersuchung der molekularen Dynamik elektronisch angeregter Moleküle stand im Zentrum dieser Arbeit. In vielen Fällen ist die Dynamik dieser Zustände mit einer Bewegung von Wasserstoffatomen assoziiert. Mittels zeit- und frequenzaufgelöster Photofragmentspektroskopie lassen sich Aussagen über die Energieumverteilung während der Dissoziation und über die Geschwindigkeit der Wasserstoffatomabstraktion treffen. Die Ergebnisse solcher Messungen können als Grundlage für die Diskussion der molekularen Reaktionsdynamik und als Prüfstein für theoretische Berechnungen dienen. Theoretische Vorhersagen weisen der Wasserstoffatomdynamik eine enorme Bedeutung für die Photochemie von Biomolekülen zu. Unter den Biomolekülen nimmt die Untersuchung der Photochemie und der Photophysik isolierter DNA-Basen eine herausragende Stellung ein. Diese Untersuchungen sind dabei stark von der Hoffnung auf ein besseres Verständnis der Entstehung von Strahlungsschäden motiviert, die letztendlich zu Hautkrebs führen können. Die Frage, ob jeder Baustein der DNA potentiell photostabil ist, wurde im Rahmen dieser Arbeit für die DNA-Base Adenin untersucht. Die Experimente erfolgten an isolierten Molekülen in der Gasphase, so dass es möglich war, die intrinsischen Eigenschaften von Adenin zu untersuchen. Es konnte dabei gezeigt werden, dass Adenin nach Bestrahlung mit UV-Licht vornehmlich das N9-H-Wasserstoffatom abspaltet und diese Abspaltung extrem schnell verläuft. Dies steht in Einklang mit einem Deaktivierungsprozess über eine repulsive Potentialkurve, wie er theoretisch vorhergesagt worden war. In natürlicher Umgebung, d.h. in wässriger Lösung, sind Wasserstoffatome, die in der Gasphase unter UV-Stress abdissoziieren, in Wasserstoffbrückenbindungen zu Solvensmolekülen oder in das Makromolekül eingebunden. Daher kann Bestrahlung zu Wasserstoffatom- oder Protonentransfer führen. Die Frage, ob nach UV-Anregung photoacide Verbindungen wie Phenol oder Naphthol ein Wasserstoffatom oder ein Proton an Solvensmoleküle übergeben, steht derzeit im Mittelpunkt lebhafter wissenschaftlicher Diskussion. Für das Verständnis der Photoacidität ist die Kenntnis der Schwingungsstruktur, v.a. der intermolekularen Schwingungen, von Phenol- bzw. Naphthol-Wasser-Clustern unerlässlich. Für den Naphthol/(H2O)1-Cluster konnten für den ersten elektronisch angeregten Zustand alle intermolekularen in plane Schwingungen nachgewiesen werden. Wasserstoffatomdynamik ist nicht nur für geschlossenschalige Biomoleküle wie Adenin oder wasserstoffbrückengebundene Cluster von Bedeutung, sondern auch für offenschalige organische Radikale. Alkylradikale sind dabei als reaktive Intermediate u.a. in chemischenVerbrennungsprozessen äußerst wichtig. Für das hier untersuchte tert-Butylradikal konnte ein Wasserstoffverlust beobachtet werden. Dieser verlief bei niedrigen Anregungsenergien gemäß statistischer Vorhersagen, bei höheren Anregungsenergien jedoch deutlich langsamer als aus einfachen statistischen Modellen zu erwarten wäre. Diese Ergebnisse könnten sich mit einem bisher nicht identifizierten elektronischen Zustand erklären lassen, der eine Rolle in der Photochemie bzw. Photodissoziationsdynamik spielt und möglicherweise von allgemeiner Bedeutung für die Photophysik von Alkylradikalen ist. Zukünftige Arbeiten werden die Untersuchungen der Wasserstoffatomdynamik der im Rahmen dieser Arbeit untersuchten Systeme vertiefen und auf weitere relevante Moleküle (Thymin, Cytosin, Guanin, Uracil, primäre und sekundäre Alkylradikale) ausdehnen.
The present thesis reports about vibrational and quantum chemical investigations on model systems undergoing photochemical processes and pharmaceutically active compounds, respectively. Infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy were applied for the characterization of the ground state molecular structure. Moreover, resonance Raman (RR) spectra contain additional information about the resonantly enhanced excited state molecular structure. A quantitative resonance Raman intensity analysis in conjunction with the simultaneous simulation of the absorption spectra by means of time-dependent propagation methods was accomplished in order to extract valuable information about the excited state molecular structures of the investigated systems. Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) allows one to determine the interaction and adsorption site of active agents on a metal substrate. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) and potential energy distribution (PED) calculations were carried out for an exact assignment of the vibrational spectra. Complete active space self consistent field (CASSCF) and configuration interaction (CI) calculations for some model systems were also performed to assess the experimental results on the excited state potential surfaces. The fundamentals of resonance Raman spectroscopy are treated in detail, describing the physical processes and emphasizing the theoretical methodologies which allow one to obtain the information about the resonantly excited state via an RR intensity analysis. The Brownian oscillator model to determine the solvent reorganization energy is briefly presented. Furthermore, the SERS enhancement mechanisms and selection rules to determine the orientation of the molecules adsorbed on the metal substrate are discussed. The Hartree-Fock approach to calculate the ground state geometry is expatiated, and the basic characteristics of the CI and CASSCF calculations are specified. The chapter ends with a short description of the DFT calculations. Chapter 4 deals with the investigation of the excited state intramolecular proton transfer of the model system, 1-hydroxy-2-acetonaphthone (HAN). The vibrations showing the highest displacement parameters correspond to stretching and in-plane deformation modes of the naphthalene ring and the conjugated carbonyl group, while the OH stretching mode exhibits no observable enhancement. The cooperative effect of the skeletal vibrations reduces the distance between the carbonyl and hydroxyl oxygen atoms in accordance with a general electron density redistribution. Hence, the leading force in the proton transfer process is the increase in electron density on the carbonyl group and the decrease of the negative charge on the hydroxyl oxygen. In chapter 5 the structural and vibrational characteristics of the organic mixed valence system N,N,N’,N’-tetraphenylphenylenediamine radical cation (1+) are discussed. The resonance Raman measurements showed that at least eight vibrational modes are strongly coupled to the optical charge transfer process in (1+). These Franck-Condon active modes were assigned to symmetric vibrations. The most enhanced band corresponds to the symmetric stretching mode along the N-phenylene-N unit and exhibits the largest vibrational reorganization energy. Nevertheless, symmetric stretching modes of the phenylene and phenyl units as well as deformation modes are also coupled to the electronic process. The total vibrational reorganization energy of these symmetrical modes is dominant, while the solvent induced broadening and reorganization energy are found to be small. Hence, (1+) adopts a symmetrical delocalized Robin-Day Class III structure in the ground state. Chapter 6 reports about a vibrational spectroscopic investigation of a model organic photorefractive thiophene derivative, 2-(N,N-diethylamino)-5-(2’,2’-dicyanovinyl)-thiophene. The geometry of the first excited state were optimized and the FC parameters were calculated using the configuration interaction with single excitations method. These calculations show that the contribution of the zwitterionic structure to the excited state is significantly higher than in the ground state. The resonance Raman spectra indicate that several stretching modes along the bonds connecting the donor and acceptor moieties as well as the S-C stretching vibrations are enhanced. Chapter 7 presents the vibrational analysis of an aziridinyl tripeptide, a cysteine protease inhibitor active drug. The vibrational analysis reveals stronger H-bonding of the aziridine NH unit in the solid state of the aziridinyl tripeptide than in the liquid electrophilic building block, indicating medium strong intermolecular H-bond interactions in the crystal unit. The amide hydrogen atoms of the aziridinyl tripeptide are involved in weaker H-bonds than in an epoxide analogon. Furthermore, the characteristic vibrational modes of the peptide backbone were discussed. Chapter 8 reports on the adsorption mechanism of two related anti-leukemia active agents, 6-mercaptopurine (6MP) and 6-mercaptopurine-ribose (6MPR) on a silver colloid. Both molecules adsorb through the N1 and possibly S atom on the metal surface under basic conditions. The SERS spectra recorded for acidic pH values showed that the ribose derivative exhibits a different adsorption behavior compared to the free base. 6MP probably adsorbs on the silver sol through the N9 and N3 atoms, while 6MPR interacts with the surface via the N7 and probably S atoms. Around critical biological concentrations and pH values i.e. at low concentrations and almost neutral condition (pH 7-9), 6MPR interacts with the substrate through both N7 and N1 atoms, possibly forming two differently adsorbed species, while for 6MP only the species adsorbed via N1 was evidenced.
Subject of this work was to investigate the influence of nonadiabatic coupling on the dynamical changes of electron and nuclear density. The properties of electron density have neither been discussed in the stationary case, nor for excited electronic states or for a coupled electronic and nuclear motion. In order to remove these restrictions one must describe the quantum mechanical motion of all particles in a system at the same level. This is only possible for very small systems. A model system developed by Shin and Metiu [1, 2] contains all necessary physical ingredients to describe a combined electronic and nuclear motion. It consists of a single nuclear and electronic degree of freedom and the particle interaction is parameterized in such a way as to allow for a facile switching between and adiabatic (Born-Oppenheimer type) and a strongly coupled dynamics. The first part of the work determined the “static” properties of the model system: The calculation of electronic eigenfunctions, adiabatic potential curves, kinetic coupling elements and transition dipole moments allowed for a prediction of the coupled dynamics. The potentials obtained from different parameterization showed two distinct cases: In the first case the ground and first excited state are separated by a large energy gap which is the typical Born-Oppenheimer case; the second one exhibits an avoided crossing which results in a breakdown of the adiabatic approximation. Due to the electronic properties of the system, the quantum dynamics in the two distinct situations is very different. This was illustrated by calculating nuclear and electron densities as a function of time. In the Born-Oppenheimer case, the electron density followed the vibrational motion of the nucleus. This was demonstrated in two examples. In the strongly coupled case the wave packet did not exhibit features caused by nonadiabatic coupling. However, projections of the wave function onto the electronic states revealed the usual picture obtained from solutions of the nuclear Schrödinger equation involving coupled electronic states. In that case the nuclear motion triggered charge transfer via nonadiabatic coupling. The second part of the work demonstrated that the model system can easily be modified to yield binding situations often found in diatomic molecules. The different situations can be characterized in terms of bound and dissociative adiabatic potential curves. The investigation focussed on the case of an electronic predissociation, where the ground state is dissociative in the asymptotic limit of large internuclear distances. Within our model system we were able to demonstrate how the character of the electron density changes during the fragmentation process. In the third part we investigated the influence of external fields on the correlated dynamics of electron and nucleus. Employing adiabatic potential curves, the structure of absorption spectra can be understood within the weak-field limit. In the above described Born-Oppenheimer case the adiabatically calculated spectrum was in very good agreement with the exact one, whereas in the strongly coupled case the obtained spectrum was not able to resemble the exact one. Regarding the dynamics during a laser excitation process the time-dependent electron and nuclear densities nicely illustrated the famous Franck-Condon principle. The interaction with strong laser pulses lead to an excitation of many bound electronic and vibrational states. The electron density reflected the classical-like quiver motion of the electron induced by the fast variations of the electric field. The nucleus did not follow these fast oscillations because of its much larger mass. The last part of the work extended the original model system by including an additional electron. As a consequence of the Pauli principle, the spatial electronic wave function has to be either symmetric or anti-symmetric with respect to exchange of the two electrons. This corresponds to anti-parallel or parallel electron spins, respectively. The extended model already contains the physical properties of a many-electron system. Solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for a typical vibrational wave packet motion clearly indicated that the electron density is no longer suited to “localize” single electrons. We extended the definition of the electron localization function (ELF) to an exact, time-dependent wave function and demonstrated, how the ELF can be used to further characterize a coupled electron and nuclear motion. Finally, we gave an outlook of how to define electron localization in the case of anti-parallel electron spins. We derived a quantity similar to the ELF denoted “anti-parallel spin electron localization function” (ALF) and demonstrated that the ALF allows to follow time-dependent changes of the electron localization in a numerical example.
