Abstract: | Femtosecond degenerate four-wave-mixing (DFWM) spectroscopy was carried out to investigate the behavior of coherent wavepacket motion in an ultrafast intermolecular electron transfer (ET) system which consists of a dye molecule, oxazine 1 (Ox1), in an electron donating solvent, N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA). Due to the ultrafast ET in DMA with time constant of ca. 59–81 fs, acceleration of the vibrational dephasing for the excited state mode at 562 cm?1 was observed by the DFWM measurement and confirmed by pump-probe (PP) spectroscopy. Interestingly, the dephasing time of the excited state mode in DMA is in the order of 160–240 fs, which is significantly longer than the time constant of ET, which indicates that the oscillation is not diminished instantaneously by the ET but somewhat persists into the product state. |
