Abstract
For both dielectric spectroscopy and light scattering spectra, the relaxation modes in the microwave region have been characterized by the Debye relaxation model, which is determined by the peak frequency, or by an empirically extended model (e.g., Cole-Davidson and Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts), which has the appropriate line shape. For light scattering from glass-forming liquids, the general line shape is a broader high frequency side in comparison with Debye relaxation. However, for triethylene glycol (TEG) in liquid form at room temperature, the lowest frequency Raman scattering (LFR) mode shows a peak at about 3.0 GHz, which is narrower than that expected for the Debye relaxation. With increasing temperature, this peak exhibits a significant blueshift and begins to resemble the Debye relaxation shape, indicating that the LFR mode of TEG is also a relaxation mode. The narrowing of the LFR mode of TEG is suggested to be caused from the increased non-whiteness of the fluctuation correlations due to increased hydrogen bonding. This is a consequence of breaking the Debye relaxation model's approximation of the overdamping and narrowing limits in the GHz region, which was found in this study by analyzing the relaxation modes of Raman scattering using the multiple random telegraph model for evaluating thermal bath correlation. The analysis results show that the LFR relaxation times of TEG and the main dielectric relaxation overlap only by 333 K. However, the second LFR mode and β-relaxation at higher frequencies coincide over a wide temperature range, suggesting that they are corresponding modes.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the water concentration dependence of the intermolecular vibrations of two hydrated ionic liquids (ILs), cholinium dihydrogen phosphate ([ch][dhp]) and cholinium bromide ([ch]Br), using femtosecond Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy (fs-RIKES). The anions of the former and latter hydrated ILs are kosmotropic and chaotropic, respectively. We found that the spectral peak of ∼50 cm-1 shifted to the low-frequency side in hydrated [ch][dhp], indicating the weakening of its intermolecular interactions. In contrast, no change in the peak frequency of the low-frequency band at ∼50 cm-1 was observed with increasing water concentration in hydrated [ch]Br. The vibrational density of states (VDOS) spectra generated from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were in qualitative agreement with the experimental results. Decomposition analysis of the VDOS spectra for each component revealed that the red shift of the low-frequency band in the hydrated [ch][dhp] upon water addition was essentially due to the contributions of anions and water rather than that of the cholinium cation. We also found from the low-frequency spectra of the two hydrated ILs that they differed in the concentration dependence of the 180 cm-1 band, which is assigned as a hindered translational motion of water molecules combined to form O···O stretching motions. From the relationship between the peak frequency of the low-frequency band and the bulk parameter, which is the square root of the surface tension divided by the density, we found that the peak frequency in the hydrated IL with kosmotropic [dhp]- depends on the bulk parameter, similar to the case for an aqueous solution of the typical deep eutectic solvent reline. However, the peak frequency of the hydrated IL with chaotropic Br- is constant with the bulk parameter.

Abstract
The microscopic aspects of 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([MOIm][BF4]) mixtures with formamide (FA), N-methylformamide (NMF), and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) were investigated using spectroscopic techniques of femtosecond Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy (fs-RIKES), FT-IR, and NMR. Molecular dynamics simulations and quantum chemistry calculations were also performed. According to fs-RIKES, the first moment of the low-frequency spectrum bands mainly originating from the intermolecular vibrations in the [MOIm][BF4]/FA and [MOIm][BF4]/DMF systems changed gradually with the molecular liquid mole fraction XML but that in the [MOIm][BF4]/NMF system was constant up to XNMF = 0.7 and then gradually increased in the range of XNMF ≥ 0.7. Excluding the contribution of the 2D hydrogen-bonding network due to the presence of FA in the low-frequency spectrum band, the XML dependence of the normalized first moment of the low-frequency band in the [MOIm][BF4]/FA and [MOIm][BF4]/NMF systems revealed that the normalized first moment did not remarkably change in the range of XML < 0.7 but drastically increased in XML ≥ 0.7. FT-IR results indicated that the amide C═O band shifted to the low-frequency side with increasing XML for the three mixtures due to the hydrogen bonds. The imidazolium ring C-H band also showed a similar tendency to the amide C═O band. 19F NMR probed the microenvironment of [BF4]- in the mixtures. The [MOIm][BF4]/NMF and [MOIm][BF4]/DMF systems showed an up-field shift of the F atoms of the anion with increasing XML, and the [MOIm][BF4]/FA system exhibited a down-field shift. Steep changes in the chemical shifts were confirmed in the region of XML > 0.8. On the basis of the quantum chemistry calculations, the observed chemical shifts with increasing XML were mainly attributed to the many-body interactions of ions and amides for the [MOIm][BF4]/FA and [MOIm][BF4]/DMF systems. Meanwhile, the long distance between the cation and the anion was due to the high dielectric medium for the [MOIm][BF4]/NMF system, which led to an up-field shift.

Abstract
Different spectroscopy types reveal different aspects of molecular processes in soft matter. In particular, collective observables can provide insights into intermolecular correlations invisible to the more popular single-particle methods. In this perspective we feature the dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS) with an emphasis on the proper interpretation of this complex observable aided by computational spectroscopy. While we focus on the history and recent advances of DRS in the fields of biomolecular hydration and nanoconfinement, the discussion transcends this particular field and provides a guide for how collective spectroscopy types supported by computational decomposition can be employed to further our understanding of soft matter phenomena.

Abstract
This study compared the physical properties, e.g., glass transition temperature, melting point, viscosity, density, surface tension, and electrical conductivity, and the low-frequency spectra under 200 cm-1 of three synthesized ionic liquids (ILs), triethylpentylphosphonium bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide ([P2225][NF2]), ethoxyethyltriethylphosphonium bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide ([P222(2O2)][NF2]), and triethyl[2-(ethylthio)ethyl]phosphonium bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide ([P222(2S2)][NF2]), at various temperatures using femtosecond Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy (fs-RIKES) and terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). The [P222(2S2)][NF2] had the highest viscosity and glass transition temperature, whereas the [P222(2O2)][NF2] had the lowest. Among the three ILs, the [P222(2S2)][NF2] had the highest density and surface tension, and the [P222(2O2)][NF2] had the highest electrical conductivity. The RIKES and THz-TDS spectral line shapes for the three ILs varied significantly. For the [P2225][NF2], molecular dynamics simulations successfully reproduced the line shapes of the experimental spectra and indicated that the RIKES spectrum was mainly due to the cation and cross-term and their rotational motions, whereas the THz-TDS spectrum was mainly due to the anion and its translational motion. This shows that it is desirable to utilize both fs-RIKES and THz-TDS methods to reveal molecular motions at the low-frequency domain. The [P222(2S2)][NF2] had higher frequency peaks and broader bands in the low-frequency spectra via fs-RIKES and THz-TDS than those for the [P2225][NF2] and [P222(2O2)][NF2].

Abstract
Photoinduced charge transfer (CT) excited states and their relaxation mechanisms can be highly interdependent on the environment effects and the consequent changes in the electronic density. Providing a molecular interpretation of the ultrafast (subpicosecond) interplay between initial photoexcited states in such dense electronic manifolds in condensed phase is crucial for improving and understanding such phenomena. Real-time time-dependent density functional theory is here the method of choice to observe the charge density, explicitly propagated in an ultrafast time domain, along with all time-dependent properties that can be easily extracted from it. A designed protocol of analysis for real-time electronic dynamics to be applied to time evolving electronic density related properties to characterize both in time and in space CT dynamics in complex systems is here introduced and validated, proposing easy to be read cross-correlation maps. As case studies to test such tools, we present the photoinduced charge-transfer electronic dynamics of 5-benzyluracil, a mimic of nucleic acid/protein interactions, and the metal-to-ligand charge-transfer electronic dynamics in water solution of [Ru(dcbpy)2(NCS)2]4-, dcbpy = (4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine), or "N34-", a dye sensitizer for solar cells. Electrostatic and explicit ab initio treatment of solvent molecules have been compared in the latter case, revealing the importance of the accurate modeling of mutual solute-solvent polarization on CT kinetics. We observed that explicit quantum mechanical treatment of solvent slowed down the charge carriers mobilities with respect to the gas-phase. When all water molecules were modeled instead as simpler embedded point charges, the electronic dynamics appeared enhanced, with a reduced hole-electron distance and higher mean velocities due to the close fixed charges and an artificially increased polarization effect. Such analysis tools and the presented case studies can help to unveil the influence of the electronic manifold, as well as of the finite temperature-induced structural distortions and the environment on the ultrafast charge motions.

Abstract
Diffusion of a Brownian particle or a molecule in a liquid solvent is caused, in the Stokes-Einstein picture, by unbalanced fluctuations of osmotic forces on different sides of the particle. When the particle carries a charge or a higher multipolar moment, this picture is amended by fluctuations of electrostatic forces producing dielectric friction. Dielectric friction slows both the translational and rotational diffusion down. While this picture is well established and is physically sound, standard theories grossly overestimate the magnitude of dielectric friction for small dipolar solutes and larger colloidal particles, such as proteins. Motivated by recent simulation studies, this perspective discusses the interplay between osmotic (van der Waals) and electrostatic forces in promoting molecular and colloidal diffusion. Much can be learned about microscopic friction mechanisms from statistical and dynamical correlations between osmotic and electrostatic forces.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the temperature dependence of intermolecular vibrations and orientational dynamics in the aqueous solutions of imidazole hydrochloride, imidazole, sodium triazolide, and triazole using femtosecond Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy (fs-RIKES) and steady-state Raman spectroscopy. The difference low-frequency Raman spectra under 250 cm-1 of the aqueous solutions relative to the neat water showed that the spectral shoulder in the high-frequency region at 60-100 cm-1, assigned to the libration of an aromatic ring, was higher in frequency for the imidazolium cation but lower for the triazolide anion than those of the respective neutral aromatics. The results of the ab initio quantum chemistry calculations of the clusters of the aromatics and water molecule(s) were consistent with the experimental spectra of the aqueous solutions. Further, the results of the temperature-dependent experiments showed that the signal intensity in the low-frequency region below 50 cm-1 increased for all solutions with an increase in temperature. In contrast, the spectral density in the high-frequency region above 80 cm-1 exhibited almost no shift for the 1.0 M solutions, while a significant red shift was observed for the 5.0 M solutions. In addition, the temperature-dependent densities, viscosities, and surface tensions were characterized for the aqueous aromatic solutions from 293 to 353 K.

Abstract
Photoexcitation of the charge transfer band of electron donor-acceptor complexes composed of toluene and 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene yields organic radical ion pairs whose ultrafast reactive dynamics are determined by equilibrium solvent properties. A comparative study of ultrafast reaction rates in a series of alkane alcohols identified their dependence on the local polarizability and hydrogen bond donating/accepting character of the solvent. Because of the rapid and efficient equilibration of these radical ion pairs into solvent-separated species, simple modifications to bulk conditions can be used as a means to selectively alter their decay rates. Selectively altering distinct stages in this photochemical cycle via cosolutes or additives is a valuable step toward understanding and controlling the reactivity of organic radical ions in complex environments.

Abstract
We investigated the intermolecular dynamics and static structure in the aqueous solutions of lidocaine hydrochloride (LDHCl) in the concentration range of [LDHCl] = 0-2.00 M using femtosecond Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy (fs-RIKES), small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SWAXS), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). For the fs-RIKES experiments, the concentration dependence of the difference low-frequency spectra of the aqueous LDHCl solutions relative to the neat water, which was mainly due to the intermolecular vibrations, was characterized using an exponential function with a characteristic concentration of ∼1 M. For the SWAXS experiments, we observed a manifestation of an excess scattering component centered within a range of 8-10 nm-1 in the aqueous LDHCl solutions. The results of Fourier inversion and further deconvolution analyses unambiguously demonstrated that lidocaines assemble into a nanometer-sized micelle-like structure with the innermost core (∼0.3 nm) and outer shell (∼0.5 nm), respectively. The DLS experiments also found nanometer-sized aggregates and further indicated evidence of the clusters of the aggregates. The results of viscosities, densities, and surface tensions of the solutions and the quantum chemistry calculations supported the unique features of the microscopic intermolecular interaction and the micelle-like aggregation.

Abstract
This is the first report on low-frequency spectra of ionic liquid (IL)/polymer mixtures using femtosecond Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy. We studied mixtures of 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([MOIm][BF4]) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with Mn = 400 (PEG400) at various concentrations. To elucidate the unique features of the IL/polymer mixture system, mixtures of PEG400 with a molecular liquid, 1-octhylimidazole (OIm), which is a neutral analog of the cation, were also studied. In addition, mixtures of [MOIm][BF4] with ethylene glycol (EG) and poly(ethylene glycol) with Mn = 4000 (PEG4000) were also investigated. The first moments of broad low-frequency spectra, mainly due to intermolecular vibrations for the [MOIm][BF4]/PEG400 and OIm/PEG400, increased slightly with increasing concentration of PEG400, indicating that microscopic intermolecular interactions, in general, are slightly enhanced. We also compared the [MOIm][BF4] mixtures with EG, PEG400, and PEG4000 at concentrations of 5 and 10 wt % PEG or EG. The low-frequency spectra of samples with the same concentrations were quite similar, but a comparison of the normalized spectra showed that the spectral intensity in the low-frequency region below ∼50 cm-1 of the [MOIm][BF4] mixtures with PEG400 and PEG4000 is somewhat lower than that of the [MOIm][BF4] mixtures with EG. Although the effect of the polymer is small compared to other polymer solution systems, this feature is attributed to a suppression of translational motion in the mixtures of [MOIm][BF4] with PEG compared to the mixtures of [MOIm][BF4] with EG due to the greater mass of PEG than EG. Density, surface tension, viscosity, and electrical conductivity were also estimated. From Walden plots, it was found that the [MOIm][BF4]/PEG4000 system showed more ideal electrical conductive behavior than the [MOIm][BF4]/PEG400 and [MOIm][BF4]/EG systems.

Abstract
Chemical reactions in confined environments are important in areas as diverse as heterogenous catalysis, environmental chemistry and biochemistry, yet they are much less well understood than the equivalent reactions in either the gas phase or in free solution. The understanding of chemical reactions in solution was greatly enhanced by real time studies of model reactions, through ultrafast spectroscopy (especially when supported by molecular dynamics simulation). Here we review some of the efforts that have been made to adapt this approach to the investigation of reactions in confined media. Specifically, we review the application of ultrafast fluorescence spectroscopy to measure reaction dynamics in the nanoconfined water phase of reverse micelles, as a function of the droplet radius and the charge on the interface. Methods of measurement and modelling of the reactions are outlined. In all of the cases studied (which are focused on ultrafast intramolecular reactions) the effect of confinement was to suppress the reaction. Even in the largest micelles the result in the bulk aqueous phase was not usually recovered, suggesting an important role for specific interactions between reactant and environment, for example at the interface. There was no simple one-to-one correspondence with direct measures of the dynamics of the confined phase. Thus, understanding the effect of confinement on reaction rate appears to require not only knowledge of the dynamics of the reaction in solutions and the effect of confinement on the medium, but also of the interaction between reactant and confining medium.

Abstract
It is shown, by means of numerical and analytic work, that initial molecular momenta play little significant role in the initial fast solvation relaxation that follows electronic excitation of, and charge creation for, a standard model system of a solute in water. Instead, the nonequilibrium dynamics are predominantly described by noninertial "steering" by the torques directly generated by the newly created charge distribution. It is this process that largely overcomes inertia and drives the relaxation dynamics on a time scale of a few tens of femtoseconds in the key initial regime of the dynamics. These results are discussed in the context of commonly employed descriptions such as inertial, Gaussian, and underdamped dynamical behavior.

Abstract
In this study, the low-frequency vibrational dynamics of polystyrene (PS) in CCl4 was investigated by femtosecond Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy. Ethylbenzene (EBz) was also investigated as a model monomer of the polymer to elucidate the unique dynamical features of PS in solution. The broadened low-frequency spectrum of the PS/CCl4 in the frequency region below 150 cm-1 is significantly different from that of the EBz/CCl4. Difference spectra between the PS or EBz solutions and neat CCl4, normalized to an internal vibrational mode of CCl4, clearly show a much lower spectral intensity for the PS/CCl4 than the EBz/CCl4 in the low-frequency region below ca. 20 cm-1. This indicates that translational motions are suppressed in the PS/CCl4 compared to the EBz/CCl4. Moreover, the high-frequency motion at ca. 70 cm-1, mainly due to phenyl ring librations, occurs at higher frequency in PS (78 cm-1) than EBz (65 cm-1). In addition, the results of concentration-dependent experiments show that the first moment (M1) of the low-frequency difference spectra of both PS/CCl4 and EBz/CCl4 is almost independent of the concentration. The molecular weight dependence of the low-frequency spectrum in the PS/CCl4 shows that the M1 value of the low-frequency spectral band of PS shifts to higher frequencies when the molecular weight of PS increases up to Mw = ∼1000, which corresponds approximately to the decamer, and then remains constant upon further increasing the molecular weight.

Abstract
We examine CdSe NCs functionalized with the exciton-delocalizing ligand phenyldithiocarbamate (PDTC) using two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES). PDTC forms hybrid molecular orbitals with CdSe's valence band that relax hole spatial confinement and create potential for enhanced exciton migration in NC solids. We find PDTC broadens the intrinsic line width of individual NCs in solution by ∼30 meV, which we ascribe to modulation of NC band edge states by ligand motion. In PDTC-exchanged solids, photoexcited excitons are mobile and rapidly move to low-energy NC sites over ∼30 ps. We also find placing excitons into high-energy states can accelerate their rate of migration by over an order of magnitude, which we attribute to enhanced spatial delocalization of these states that improves inter-NC wave function overlap. Our work demonstrates that NC surface ligands can actively facilitate inter-NC energy transfer and highlights principles to consider when designing ligands for this application.

Abstract
We present a thermodynamic analysis of the activation barrier for reactions which can be monitored through the difference in the energies of reactants and products defined as the reaction coordinate (electron and atom transfer, enzyme catalysis, etc.). The free-energy surfaces along the reaction coordinate are separated into the enthalpy and entropy surfaces. For the Gaussian statistics of the reaction coordinate, the free-energy surfaces are parabolas, and the entropy surface is an inverted parabola. Its maximum coincides with the transition state for reactions with zero value of the reaction free energy. Maximum entropic depression of the activation barrier, anticipated by the concept of transition-state ensembles, can be achieved for such reactions. From Onsager's reversibility, the entropy of equilibrium fluctuations encodes the entropic component of the activation barrier. The reorganization entropy thus becomes the critical parameter of the theory reducing the problem of activation entropy to the problem of reorganization entropy. Standard solvation theories do not allow reorganization entropy sufficient for the barrier depression. Complex media, characterized by many relaxation processes, need to be involved. Proteins provide several routes for achieving large entropic effects through incomplete (nonergodic) sampling of the complex energy landscape and by facilitating an active role of water in the reaction mechanism.

Abstract
A comparative study of the intermolecular dynamics of CS2 in monocationic and dicationic ionic liquids (ILs) was performed using optical heterodyne-detected Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy (OHD-RIKES). The reduced spectral densities (RSDs) of mixtures of CS2 in 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethane)sulfonyl]amide ([CnC1im][NTf2] for n = 3-5) and 1,2n-bis(3-methylimidazolium-1-yl) alkane bis[(trifluoromethane)sulfonyl]amide ([(C1im)2C2n][NTf2]2 for n = 3-5) were investigated as a function of concentration at 295 K. An additivity model was used to obtain the CS2 contribution to the RSD of a mixture in the 0-200 cm-1 region. One of the aims of this study is to show how CS2 can be used as a probe of intermolecular/interionic interactions in ILs. The concentrations were chosen such that the CS2-to-imidazolium ring mole fraction of a mixture with [(C1im)2C2n][NTf2]2 (DIL(2n)) is the same as that of a mixture with [CnC1im][NTf2] (MIL(n)). As found previously for CS2 in monocationic ILs, the intermolecular spectrum of CS2 in dicationic ILs is lower in frequency and narrower than that of neat CS2. The new result is that the intermolecular spectrum of CS2 is higher in frequency in DIL(2n) than in the corresponding MIL(n), indicating that CS2 molecules experience a stiffer potential in dicationic ILs than in monocationic ILs. The intermolecular dynamics of CS2 being higher in frequency in DIL(2n) than in MIL(n) is consistent with recent molecular dynamics simulations (Lynden-Bell and Quitevis, J. Chem. Phys., 2018, 148, 193844) that show the stiffer potential is the result of greater confinement of CS2 in DIL(2n) than in MIL(n). We also show in this study how effects due to dilution and the intermolecular potential seen by a solute molecule in solution are unraveled.

Abstract
Fourier transform infrared and two-dimensional IR (2D-IR) spectroscopies were applied to two different silanes in three different solvents. The selected solutes exhibit different degrees of vibrational solvatochromism for the Si-H vibration. Density functional theory calculations confirm that this difference in sensitivity is the result of higher mode polarization with more electron withdrawing ligands. This mode sensitivity also affects the extent of spectral diffusion experienced by the silane vibration, offering a potential route to simultaneously optimize the sensitivity of vibrational probes in both steady-state and time-resolved measurements. Frequency-frequency correlation functions obtained by 2D-IR show that both solutes experience dynamics on similar time scales and are consistent with a picture in which weakly interacting solvents produce faster, more homogeneous fluctuations. Molecular dynamics simulations confirm that the frequency-frequency correlation function obtained by 2D-IR is sensitive to the presence of hydrogen bonding dynamics in the surrounding solvation shell.

Abstract
Solid-state solvation (SSS) is a solid-state analogue of solvent-solute interactions in the liquid state. Although it could enable exceptionally fine control over the energetic properties of solid-state devices, its molecular mechanisms have remained largely unexplored. We use ultrafast transient absorption and optical Kerr effect spectroscopies to independently track and correlate both the excited-state dynamics of an organic emitter and the polarization anisotropy relaxation of a small polar dopant embedded in an amorphous polystyrene matrix. The results demonstrate that the dopants are able to rotationally reorient on ultrafast time scales following light-induced changes in the electronic configuration of the emitter, minimizing the system energy. The solid-state dopant-emitter dynamics are intrinsically analogous to liquid-state solvent-solute interactions. In addition, tuning the dopant/polymer pore ratio offers control over solvation dynamics by exploiting molecular-scale confinement of the dopants by the polymer matrix. Our findings will enable refined strategies for tuning optoelectronic material properties using SSS and offer new strategies to investigate mobility and disorder in heterogeneous solid and glassy materials.

Abstract
This article describes a comparative study of the low-frequency (0-450 cm-1) Kerr spectra of the branched 1-(iso-alkyl)-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([(N - 2)mCN-1C1im][NTf2] with N = 3-7) ionic liquids (ILs) and that of the linear 1-(n-alkyl)-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([CNC1im][NTf2] with N = 2-7) ILs. The spectra were obtained by use of femtosecond optical heterodyne-detected Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy (OHD-RIKES). The intermolecular spectrum of a branched IL is similar to that of a linear IL that is of the same alkyl chain length rather than of the same number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain. This similarity and the lack of a correlation of the first spectral moments and widths of the intermolecular spectra with chain length is mainly attributed to the increase in the dispersion contribution to the total molar cohesive energy being compensated by stretching of the ionic network due to the increasing size of the nonpolar domains, which is dependent only on the length of the alkyl chain.

In this Letter, an examination of the effect of the Raman pump ellipticity on the multiplex OHD-FRIKES spectra is discussed. The Raman pump ellipticity scanned OHD-FRIKES results reproduce anomalous observables from previous OHD-FRIKES experiments and suggest new methods of tracking transient vibrational mode polarization in complex systems.

Abstract
The ultrafast dynamics of a de novo metalloenzyme active site is monitored using two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy. The homotrimer of parallel, coiled coil α-helices contains a His3-Cu(I) metal site where CO is bound and serves as a vibrational probe of the hydrophobic interior of the self-assembled complex. The ultrafast spectral dynamics of Cu-CO reveals unprecedented ultrafast (2 ps) nonequilibrium structural rearrangements launched by vibrational excitation of CO. This initial rapid phase is followed by much slower ∼40 ps vibrational relaxation typical of metal-CO vibrations in natural proteins. To identify the hidden coupled coordinate, small molecule analogues and the full peptide were studied by QM and QM/MM calculations, respectively. The calculations show that variation of the histidines' dihedral angles in coordinating Cu controls the coupling between the CO stretch and the Cu-C-O bending coordinates. Analysis of different optimized structures with significantly different electrostatic field magnitudes at the CO ligand site indicates that the origin of the stretch-bend coupling is not directly due to through-space electrostatics. Instead, the large, ∼3.6 D dipole moments of the histidine side chains effectively transduce the electrostatic environment to the local metal coordination orientation. The sensitivity of the first coordination sphere to the protein electrostatics and its role in altering the potential energy surface of the bound ligands suggests that long-range electrostatics can be leveraged to fine-tune function through enzyme design.

Abstract
Dielectric relaxation (DR) and optical Kerr-effect (OKE) spectra of the archetypal protic ionic liquids ethyl- and propylammonium nitrate (EAN and PAN) have been measured over an unusually large frequency range from 200 MHz to 10 THz at temperatures (mostly) between 5 and 65 °C. Analysis of the low-frequency α-relaxation, associated with the cooperative relaxations of the cations (DR) and anions (OKE) and any clusters present, indicated that ion reorientation in EAN is decoupled from viscosity and occurs via cooperative relaxation involving large-angle jumps rather than rotational diffusion. Detailed consideration of the high-frequency parts of the DR and OKE spectra showed that the observed intensities were a complex combination of overlapping and possibly coupled modes. In addition to previously identified intermolecular H-bond vibrations, there are significant contributions from the librations of the cations and anions. The present assignments were shown to be consistent with the isotopic shifts observed for deuterated EAN.

Abstract
Equilibrium and dynamical characteristics pertaining to the solvation of the fluorescent probe Coumarin 480 within different confining environments are investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. Three kinds of confining systems are examined: (i) the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)/isooctane/1-hexanol/water; cationic inverse micelle (IM) (ii) a CTAB/water direct micelle (DM), and (iii) a silica-surfactant nanocomposite, comprising a cylindrical silica pore (SP) containing small amounts of water and CTAB species adsorbed at the pore walls. The solvation structures in the three environments differ at a qualitative level: an exchange between bulk- and interface-like solvation states was found in the IM, whereas in the DM, the solvation states of the probe are characterized by its embedding at the interface, trapped among the surfactant heads and tails. Within the SP structure, the coumarin exhibits alternations between internal and interfacial solvation states that occur on a ∼20 ns time scale and operate via 90° rotations of its molecular plane. The solvation responses of the environment following a vertical excitation of the probe are also investigated. Solvation times resulted between 2 and 1000 times longer than those found in bulk water, with a fast-to-slow trend IM→DM→SP, which can be interpreted in terms of the solvation structures that prevail in each case.

Abstract
The dependence of excitation energy transfer kinetics on the electronic state of the acceptor (ground vs excited) has been resolved with a novel multipulse prePump-Pump-Probe spectroscopy. The primary energy transfer and annihilation dynamics in two model light-harvesting systems were explored: an artificially synthesized carotenoid-zinc-phthalocyanine dyad and a naturally occurring light-harvesting peridinin-chlorophyll protein complex from Amphidinium carterae. Both systems use carotenoid as the primary excitation energy donor with porphyrin chromophores as the acceptor molecules. The prePump-Pump-Probe transient signals were analyzed with Monte Carlo modeling to explicitly address the underlying step-by-step kinetics involved in both excitation migration and annihilation processes. Both energy transfer and annihilation dynamics were demonstrated to occur with approximately the same rate in both systems, regardless of the excitation status of the acceptor pigments. The possible reasons for these observations are discussed in the framework of the Förster energy transfer model.
