Abstract.
Polarization-resolved femtosecond experiments are shown to yield valuable insight into transition-state dynamics associated with ultra-fast photodissociation reactions of triatomic species in liquid solution. After the fundamental act of bond fission is completed, such experiments reveal rotational dynamics of the fragments, which can be used to extract information regarding fragment rotational excitation in the asymptotic limit of the reaction.
