ABSTRACT
The ultrafast dynamics of highly excited cis-stilbene (CS) in a molecular beam is explored using femtosecond time-resolved mass spectrometry and structure-sensitive photoelectron spectroscopy. cis-Stilbene is initially pumped by a 6 eV photon to the 7(1)B state and the reaction is followed by ionization with a time-delayed 3 eV probe pulse. Upon excitation, cis-stilbene rapidly decays to the 3(1)B state, where it undergoes a ring-closing reaction to form 4a,4b-dihydrophenanthrene (DHP). Whereas 14% of the ionized CS molecules dissociate one hydrogen atom to form hydrophenanthrene, the ionized DHP molecules completely dehydrogenate in the ion state to produce hydrophenanthrene and phenanthrene with a 11 ratio. We determined the lifetimes of the 7(1)B state and the 3(1)B state of CS to be 167 and 395 fs, respectively.
