Abstract:
The dynamics of intramolecular vibrational-energy redistribution from an initially excited mode ν1 (the acetylene-type H-C bond) to the other modes of the H-C≡C-Si(CH3)3 molecule was studied experimentally. Probing was performed by spontaneous anti-Stokes Raman scattering. The measured deexcitation time of ν1 was 128±10 ps.
