Abstract

The spectrum of the molecular eigenstates (ME) belonging to the various rotational members of the 1B3u (0–0) transition of pyrazine was measured with a very narrow band laser in a molecular beam with a Doppler width of 30 MHz.It is shown that, when the ME's belonging to a single rotational state are Fourier-transformed, the beating decays of these states are obtained. A problem is constituted by the lack of a fast component in these reconstructions, while it is observed in experiments on higher J-states.

Highlights

  • The theory of radiationless transitions from electronic states of molecules appears to be well understood

  • The state excited by light is coupled to such a dense manifold of vibronic states of a lower lying electronic state that one can apply Fermi’s Golden Rule and short exponential decay together with a low quantum yield is observed

  • This paper reports on a study of these effects for the radiationless transition of the 1Bau state of pyrazine
