Dynamics of excited-state proton transfer systems via time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We investigate the applicability of time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy to excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) and internal conversion dynamics in the model system o-hydroxybenzaldehyde (OHBA) and related compounds. Photoelectron spectra of both the excited state enol and keto tautomers were obtained as a function of pump laser wavelength and pump-probe time delay. The ESIPT was found to occur in less than 50 fs over the whole absorption range of the S1(ππ*) state for both OHBA and its monodeuterated analog, suggestive of a small or nonexistent barrier. The subsequent keto internal conversion rate in OHBA varies from 0.63 to 0.17 ps−1 over the S1(ππ*) absorption band and the OD-deuterated analog shows no significant isotope effect. Based upon ab initio calculations and comparison with the two-ring analog, 1-hydroxy-2-acetonaphthone (HAN), we suggest that the internal conversion dynamics in OHBA is influenced by interactions with a close-lying nπ* state.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
