Photoelectron spectroscopy as a probe of intramolecular vibrational dynamics in electronically excited toluene

Intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution (IVR) is a commonly-observed phenomenon whereby vibrational energy can be transferred between different parts of a polyatomic molecule. This process has profound implications for the understanding of chemical reactivity. In this work, IVR is studied i...
