Abstract

Ultrafast two-dimensional infrared (2DIR) spectra of the N_{2}O ν_{3} mode in moderately dense SF_{6} gas exhibit complex line shapes with diagonal and antidiagonal features in contrast to condensed phase vibrational 2DIR spectroscopy. Observed spectra for this quasifree rotor system are well captured by a model that includes all 36 possible rovibrational pathways and treats P (ΔJ=-1) and R (ΔJ=+1) branch resonances as distinct Kubo line shape features. Transition frequency correlation decay is due to J scrambling within one to two gas collisions at each density. Studies of supercritical solvation and relaxation at high pressure and temperature are enabled by this methodology.
