Ultrafast photochemical reactions in liquids occur on similar or shorter time scales compared
to the equilibration of the optically populated excited state. This equilibration involves the …

To many, periodic mechanical conformational motion of molecules is mesmerizing to a
degree that is difficult to explain rationally: It is almost as hard to stop watching an image of …

This is a tutorial-style introduction to the field of molecular polaritons. We describe the basic
physical principles and consequences of strong light–matter coupling common to molecular …

In 1913 Debye devised a relaxation model for application to the dielectric properties of water
and alcohols. These hydrogen-bonded liquids continue to be studied extensively because …

The disordered nature of glass-forming melts gives rise to non-Arrhenius and non-
exponential behaviour of their dynamics. With respect to the microscopic details involved in …

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

Steady-state and time-resolved emission spectroscopy with 25 ps resolution are used to
measure equilibrium and dynamic aspects of the solvation of coumarin 153 (C153) in a …

Ionic liquids can simultaneously assume multiple solvent roles, because they are strongly
polar and polarizable solvents and binary solutions and frequently contain very hydrophobic …

The mobility of water in water/Aerosol OT (AOT)/isooctane reverse micelles has been
investigated via polar solvation dynamics measurements using ultrafast, time-resolved …

The ability of metalloproteins to recognize their biological redox partners, as well as kinetics
of inter-protein electron-transfer reactions may be affected by chemical modification of amino …
