We review the tremendous advances in ultrafast X-ray science, over the past 15 years,
making the best use of new ultrashort X-ray sources including table-top or large-scale …

▪ Abstract Time-resolved infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy elucidates molecular
structure evolution during ultrafast chemical reactions. Following vibrational marker modes …

Transition-metal complexes have long attracted interest for fundamental chemical reactivity
studies and possible use in solar energy conversion,. Electronic excitation, ligand loss from …

Many chemical reactions involve a change in spin-state and are formally forbidden. This
article summarises a number of previously published applications showing that a form of …

We review the progress in controlling quantum dynamical processes in the condensed
phase with femtosecond laser pulses. Due to its high particle density the condensed phase …

Excitation of iron pentacarbonyl [Fe (CO) 5], a prototypical photocatalyst, at 266 nm causes
the sequential loss of two CO ligands in the gas phase, creating catalytically active …

Conspectus Electronic excited-state phenomena provide a compelling intersection of
fundamental and applied research interests in the chemical sciences. This holds true for …

The electronic structures of the four-and five-coordinate aryl-substituted bis (imino) pyridine
iron dinitrogen complexes,(iPrPDI) FeN2 and (iPrPDI) Fe (N2) 2 (iPrPDI= 2, 6-(2, 6-iPr2 …

New density functional theory and ab initio computations on the [Fe (CO) 5] system are
reported. Careful exploration of basis set and correlation effects leads to “best” values for the …

A combined experimental and theoretical study is presented of several ligand addition
reactions of the triplet fragments 3Fe (CO) 4 and 3Fe (CO) 3 formed upon photolysis of Fe …
