Role of coherent nuclear motion in the ultrafast intersystem crossing of ruthenium complexes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Ultrafast intersystem crossing (ISC) in transition metal complexes leads to a long-lived active state with a high yield, which leads to efficient light energy conversion. The detailed mechanism of ISC may lead to a rational molecular design of superior transition metal complexes. Coherent nuclear wave packets observed in femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopies provide important information on the excited-state dynamics. In particular, analyzing the nuclear wave packets in both the reactant and the product may unveil the molecular dynamics of an ultrafast reaction. In this study, experimental evidence proving the reaction coordinates of the ultrafast ISC of ruthenium(ii) complexes is presented using coherent vibrational spectroscopy with a quantum chemical simulation of coherent vibrational motion. We observed vibrational modes strongly coupled to the ISC, whose vibrational coherences undergo remarkable attenuation after the ISC. The coupled modes contain metal-ligand stretching or symmetry breaking components, and the faster ISC rates of lower-symmetry ruthenium(ii) complexes support the significance of the latter.

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.
