Excited State Intramolecular Charge Transfer: Ultrafast Electronic and Vibrational Spectroscopic Study

Abstract

This thesis incorporates the understanding of the ultrafast excited state photoinduced intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process in liquid phase. The molecular systems are studied by employing Ultrafast Raman Loss Spectroscopy (URLS) and transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy. The primary goal of this thesis is to observe structural dynamics immediately after the formation of Franck-Condon state and the effect of slight modifications in the structure and solvent onto the excited state ICT process.
