摘要
Photoinduced electron transfer (ET) in heavily fluorinated benzenes in solution has been studied with broadband transient absorption spectroscopy. Spectrally resolved kinetics exhibit oscillations with amplitude up to 70% of the signal. The oscillation frequency is specific for each probe; in addition, for pentafluorobenzene it markedly depends on solvent, being 86 cm(-1) in hexane and 94 cm(-1) in acetonitrile. We argue that the observed behavior is not related to vibrational coherences, but originate from coherent electronic motion between an optically excited and an ET state.
