We summarize how gas-phase ultrafast charged-particle spectroscopy has been used to
provide an understanding of the photophysics of DNA building blocks. We focus on adenine …

Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy measurements combined with quantum
chemistry and dynamics calculations allow unprecedented insight into the electronic …

In an effort to illuminate why nature has chosen a particular set of bio-molecular 'building-
blocks' for life, recent years have seen an up-surge of gas-phase spectroscopy experiments …

The dynamics of excited heteroaromatic molecules is a key to understanding the
photoprotective properties of many biologically relevant chromophores that dissipate their …

Time-resolved photoelectron imaging (TRPEI) is a highly differential technique for the
detailed study of non-adiabatic energy redistribution dynamics operating in the electronically …

Time-resolved photoelectron imaging was used to investigate the electronic relaxation
dynamics of gas-phase aniline, N, N-dimethylaniline, and 3, 5-dimethylaniline following …

Polymeric carbon-nitride materials consisting of triazine or heptazine units have recently
attracted vast interest as photocatalysts for water splitting with visible light. Adopting the …

Thiophene is a prototype for the excited state photophysics that lies at the heart of many
technologies within the field of organic electronics. Here, we report a multiphoton ionisation …

The photocatalytic splitting of water into molecular hydrogen and molecular oxygen with
sunlight is the dream reaction for solar energy conversion. For decades, transition metal …

We present an overview of experimental and theoretical investigations exploring the
dynamical evolution of Rydberg-to-valence character in the electronically excited states of …
