Description:
Probing ultrafast ππ* / nπ* internal conversion in organic chromophores via K-edge resonant absorption Nature Communications, Published online: 22 June 2017; doi:10.1038/s41467-017-00069-7 Many photo-induced processes such as photosynthesis occur in organic molecules, but their femtosecond excited-state dynamics are difficult to track. Here, the authors exploit the element and site selectivity of soft X-ray absorption to sensitively follow the ultrafast ππ */ nπ * electronic relaxation of hetero-organic molecules.
