Observation of the solvent shell reorganization around photoexcited atomic solutes by picosecond X-ray absorption spectroscopy
(2007) In Journal of the American Chemical Society 129(6). p.1530-1531- Abstract
We report on the observation of the solvation shell rearrangement after abstraction of the electron from aqueous I - in a laser pump/X-ray probe experiment by recording the X-ray absorption L 1 - and L 3 -edge spectra, 50 ps after laser excitation. The L 1 -edge spectra clearly identify the I 0 neutral species after excitation and suggest a substantial amount of back-transfer of charge... (More)
We report on the observation of the solvation shell rearrangement after abstraction of the electron from aqueous I - in a laser pump/X-ray probe experiment by recording the X-ray absorption L 1 - and L 3 -edge spectra, 50 ps after laser excitation. The L 1 -edge spectra clearly identify the I 0 neutral species after excitation and suggest a substantial amount of back-transfer of charge from the solvent species. Both edge spectra point to a significant rearrangement of the solvation shell around I 0 .
