Symmetry controlled excited state dynamics

Abstract

Symmetry effects in internal conversion are studied by means of two isomeric cyclic tertiary aliphatic amines in a velocity map imaging (VMI) experiment on the femtosecond timescale. We conclude that lessening the symmetry of the molecule leads to loss of coherence after internal conversion between Rydberg states.
