Conspectus Photochemical reactions have always been the source of a great deal of
mystery. While classified as a type of chemical reaction, no doubts are allowed that the …

Owing to ring strain, cyclic ketones exhibit complex excited state dynamics with multiple
competing photochemical channels active on the ultrafast timescale. While the excited state …

This research examines the nonadiabatic dynamics of cyclobutanone after excitation into the
n→ 3s Rydberg S 2 state. It stems from our contribution to the Special Topic of the Journal of …

First-principles simulations of excited-state X-ray spectra are becoming increasingly
important to interpret the wealth of electronic and geometric information contained within …

Transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS) is among the most common ultrafast
photochemical experiments, but its interpretation remains challenging. In this work, we …
