Abstract
Resolving the structural dynamics of bond breaking, bond formation, and solvation is required for a deeper understanding of solution-phase chemical reactions. In this work, we investigate the photodissociation of triiodide in four solvents using femtosecond time-resolved X-ray solution scattering following 400 nm photoexcitation. Structural analysis of the scattering data resolves the solvent-dependent structural evolution during the bond cleavage, internal rearrangements, solvent-cage escape, and bond reformation in real time. The nature and structure of the reaction intermediates during the recombination are determined, elucidating the full mechanism of photodissociation and recombination on ultrafast time scales. We resolve the structure of the precursor state for recombination as a geminate pair. Further, we determine the size of the solvent cages from the refined structures of the radical pair. The observed structural dynamics present a comprehensive picture of the solvent influence on structure and dynamics of dissociation reactions.

Abstract
Liquid-microjet-based X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was applied to aqueous triiodide solutions, I3-(aq.), to investigate the anion's valence- and core-level electronic structure, ionization dynamics, associated electron-correlation effects, and nuclear geometric structure. The roles of multi-active-electron (shake-up) ionization processes - with noted sensitivity to the solute geometric structure - were investigated through I3-(aq.) solution valence, I 4d, and I 3d core-level measurements. The experimental spectra were interpreted with the aid of simulated photoelectron spectra, built upon multi-reference ab initio electronic structure calculations associated with different I3-(aq.) molecular geometries. A comparison of the single-to-multi-active-electron ionization signal ratios extracted from the experimental and theoretical core-level photoemission spectra suggests that the ground state of the solute adopts a near-linear average geometry in aqueous solutions. This contrasts with the interpretation of time-resolved X-ray solution scattering studies, but is found to be fully consistent with the rest of the solution-phase I3-(aq.) literature. Comparing the results of low- and high-photon-energy photoemission measurements, we further suggest that the aqueous anion adopts a more asymmetric geometry at the aqueous-solution-gas interface than in the aqueous bulk.

Abstract
The ultrafast relaxation pathways in a hexaiodide bismuth(III) complex, BiI63-, excited at 530 nm in acetonitrile solution are studied by means of femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy supported by steady-state absorption/emission measurements and DFT computations. Radiationless relaxation out of the Franck-Condon, largely metal-centered (MC) triply degenerate 3T1u state (46 ± 19 fs), is driven by vibronic coupling due to the Jahn-Teller effect in the excited state. The relaxation populates two lower-energy states: a ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) excited state of 3π I(5pπ) → Bi(6p) nature and a luminescent "trap" 3A1u(3P0) MC state. Coherent population transfer from the initial 3T1u into the 3π LMCT state occurs in an oscillatory, stepwise manner at ∼190 and ∼550 fs with a population ratio of ∼4:1. The 3π LMCT state decays with a 2.9 ps lifetime, yielding two short-lived reaction intermediates of which the first one reforms the parent ground state with a 15 ps time constant, and the second one decays on a ∼5 ps timescale generating the triplet product species, which persists to the longest 2 ns delay times investigated. This product is identified as the η2 metal-ligated diiodide-bismuth adduct with the intramolecularly formed I-I bond, [(η2-I2)Bi(II)I4]3-, which is the species of interest for solar energy conversion and storage applications. The lifetime of the "trap" 3A1u state is estimated to be 13 ns from the photoluminescence quenching of BiI63-. The findings give insight into the excited-state relaxation dynamics and the photochemical reaction mechanisms in halide complexes of heavy ns2 metal ions.

Abstract
Developing femtosecond resolution methods for directly observing structural dynamics is critical to understanding complex photochemical reaction mechanisms in solution. We have used two recent developments, ultrafast mega-electron-volt electron sources and vacuum compatible sub-micron thick liquid sheet jets, to enable liquid-phase ultrafast electron diffraction (LUED). We have demonstrated the viability of LUED by investigating the photodissociation of tri-iodide initiated with a 400 nm laser pulse. This has enabled the average speed of the bond expansion to be measured during the first 750 fs of dissociation and the geminate recombination to be directly captured on the picosecond time scale.

Abstract
Halide photoredox chemistry is of both practical and fundamental interest. Practical applications have largely focused on solar energy conversion with hydrogen gas, through HX splitting, and electrical power generation, in regenerative photoelectrochemical and photovoltaic cells. On a more fundamental level, halide photoredox chemistry provides a unique means to generate and characterize one electron transfer chemistry that is intimately coupled with X-X bond-breaking and -forming reactivity. This review aims to deliver a background on the solution chemistry of I, Br, and Cl that enables readers to understand and utilize the most recent advances in halide photoredox chemistry research. These include reactions initiated through outer-sphere, halide-to-metal, and metal-to-ligand charge-transfer excited states. Kosower's salt, 1-methylpyridinium iodide, provides an early outer-sphere charge-transfer excited state that reports on solvent polarity. A plethora of new inner-sphere complexes based on transition and main group metal halide complexes that show promise for HX splitting are described. Long-lived charge-transfer excited states that undergo redox reactions with one or more halogen species are detailed. The review concludes with some key goals for future research that promise to direct the field of halide photoredox chemistry to even greater heights.

Abstract
The photochemistry of the triiodide anion has been investigated by femtosecond electron diffraction. The time-resolved signal indicates the presence of reaction products and large-amplitude coherent motion produced by participating species. To reconstruct the atomic detail of the reaction and identify the major contributors to the detected signal, we outline the approach for atomic-level reconstruction.

Abstract
Time-resolved X-ray solution scattering is sensitive to global molecular structure and can track the dynamics of chemical reactions. In this article, we review our recent studies on triiodide ion (I3 (-)) and molecular iodine (I2) in solution. For I3 (-), we elucidated the excitation wavelength-dependent photochemistry and the solvent-dependent ground-state structure. For I2, by combining time-slicing scheme and deconvolution data analysis, we mapped out the progression of geminate recombination and the associated structural change in the solvent cage. With the aid of X-ray free electron lasers, even clearer observation of ultrafast chemical events will be made possible in the near future.

Abstract
The mechanism of a photochemical reaction involves the formation and dissociation of various short-lived species on ultrafast timescales and therefore its characterization requires detailed structural information on the transient species. By making use of a structurally sensitive X-ray probe, time-resolved X-ray liquidography (TRXL) can directly elucidate the structures of reacting molecules in the solution phase and thus determine the comprehensive reaction mechanism with high accuracy. In this work, by performing TRXL measurements at two different wavelengths (400 and 267 nm), the reaction mechanism of I3 (-) photolysis, which changes subtly depending on the excitation wavelength, is elucidated. Upon 400 nm photoexcitation, the I3 (-) ion dissociates into I2 (-) and I. By contrast, upon 267 nm photoexcitation, the I3 (-) ion undergoes both two-body dissociation (I2 (-) +I) and three-body dissociation (I(-) +2I) with 7:3 molar ratio. At both excitation wavelengths, all the transient species ultimately disappear in 80 ns by recombining to form the I3 (-) ion nongeminately. In addition to the reaction dynamics of solute species, the results reveal the transient structure of the solute/solvent cage and the changes in solvent density and temperature as a function of time.

Abstract
Ionic species often play important roles in chemical reactions occurring in water and other solvents, but it has been elusive to determine the solvent-dependent molecular structure with atomic resolution. The triiodide ion has a molecular structure that sensitively changes depending on the type of solvent and its symmetry can be broken by strong solute-solvent interaction. Here, by applying pump-probe x-ray solution scattering, we characterize the exact molecular structure of I(3)(-) ion in water, methanol, and acetonitrile with subangstrom accuracy. The data reveal that I(3)(-) ion has an asymmetric and bent structure in water. In contrast, the ion keeps its symmetry in acetonitrile, while the symmetry breaking occurs to a lesser extent in methanol than in water. The symmetry breaking of I(3)(-) ion is reproduced by density functional theory calculations using 34 explicit water molecules, confirming that the origin of the symmetry breaking is the hydrogen-bonding interaction between the solute and solvent molecules.

Abstract
Initial value representations (IVRs) of semiclassical (SC) theory provide a general approach for adding quantum mechanical effects to classical molecular dynamics simulations of large molecular systems. Of the various versions of SC-IVR methodology for evaluating time correlation functions, the Fourier transform forward-backward (FB) approach is the simplest one that is able to describe true quantum coherence effects, so it is of considerable importance to find efficient and systematic ways for implementing it. It is shown in this paper that a Gaussian approximation for the "structure function"-the dependence of the correlation function on the (typically) momentum jump parameter-provides an efficient and accurate way for doing so. The approach is illustrated by an application to the time-dependent radial distribution function of I(2) (after photoexcitation) in a cluster of (up to 16) argon atoms.

Abstract
Although they represent the simplest possible charge-transfer reactions, the charge-transfer-to-solvent (CTTS) dynamics of atomic anions exhibit considerable complexity. For example, the CTTS dynamics of iodide in water are very different from those of sodide (Na-) in tetrahydrofuran (THF), leading to the question of the relative importance of the solvent and solute electronic structures in controlling charge-transfer dynamics. In this work, we address this issue by investigating the CTTS spectroscopy and dynamics of I- in THF, allowing us to make detailed comparisons to the previously studied I-/H2O and Na-/THF CTTS systems. Since THF is weakly polar, ion pairing with the counterion can have a substantial impact on the CTTS spectroscopy and dynamics of I- in this solvent. In this study, we have isolated "counterion-free" I- in THF by complexing the Na+ counterion with 18-crown-6 ether. Ultrafast pump-probe experiments reveal that THF-solvated electrons (e-THF) appear 380 +/- 60 fs following the CTTS excitation of "free" I- in THF. The absorption kinetics are identical at all probe wavelengths, indicating that the ejected electrons appear with no significant dynamic solvation but rather with their equilibrium absorption spectrum. After their initial appearance, ejected electrons do not exhibit any additional dynamics on time scales up to approximately 1 ns, indicating that geminate recombination of e-THF with its iodine atom partner does not occur. Competitive electron scavenging measurements demonstrate that the CTTS excited state of I- in THF is quite large and has contact with scavengers that are several nanometers away from the iodide ion. The ejection time and lack of electron solvation observed for I- in THF are similar to what is observed following CTTS excitation of Na- in THF. However, the relatively slow ejection time, the complete lack of dynamic solvation, and the large ejection distance/lack of recombination dynamics are in marked contrast to the CTTS dynamics observed for I- in water, in which fast electron ejection, substantial solvation, and appreciable recombination have been observed. These differences in dynamical behavior can be understood in terms of the presence of preexisting, electropositive cavities in liquid THF that are a natural part of its liquid structure; these cavities provide a mechanism for excited electrons to relocate to places in the liquid that can be nanometers away, explaining the large ejection distance and lack of recombination following the CTTS excitation of I- in THF. We argue that the lack of dynamic solvation observed following CTTS excitation of both I- and Na- in THF is a direct consequence of the fact that little additional relaxation is required once an excited electron nonadiabatically relaxes into one of the preexisting cavities. In contrast, liquid water contains no such cavities, and CTTS excitation of I- in water leads to local electron ejection that involves substantial solvent reorganization.

Abstract
Photodissociation of the gas-phase tri-iodide anion, I3-, was investigated using photofragment time of flight (TOF) mass spectrometry combined with the core extraction method. An analysis of the TOF profiles provided the kinetic energy and angular distributions of photofragment ions and photoneutrals, from which the photoproduct branching fractions were determined in the excitation energy range of 3.26-4.27 eV. The measurement has revealed that (1) in the entire energy range investigated, three-body dissociation occurs preferentially as the "charge-asymmetric" process I-(1S)+I(2P3/2)+I(2P3/2) with the yield of approximately 30%-40%, where the excess charge is localized on the end atoms of the dissociating I3-, and that (2) two-body dissociation via the 3Piu(0u+)<--1Sigmag+(0g+) excitation proceeds as I-(1S)+I2(X 1Sigmag+)/I2(A 3Pi1u) or I(2P3/2)+I2-(X 2Sigmau+) with the yield of approximately 60%, while that via the 1Sigmau+(0u+)<--1Sigmag+(0g+) excitation alternatively as I*(2P1/2)+I2-(X 2Sigmau+) or I-(1S)+I2(B 3Piu) with the yield of approximately 60%. Ab initio calculations including spin-orbit configuration interactions were also performed to gain precise information on the potential energy surfaces relevant to the I3- photodissociation. The calculations have shown the presence of conical intersections and avoided crossings located along the symmetric stretch coordinate near the ground-state equilibrium geometry of I3-, which play key roles for the two-body and the three-body product branching. The nonadiabatic nature of the I3- photodissociation dynamics is discussed by combining the experimental findings and the ab initio results.

Abstract
We review the progress in controlling quantum dynamical processes in the condensed phase with femtosecond laser pulses. Due to its high particle density the condensed phase has both high relevance and appeal for chemical synthesis. Thus, in recent years different methods have been developed to manipulate the dynamics of condensed-phase systems by changing one or multiple laser pulse parameters. Single-parameter control is often achieved by variation of the excitation pulse's wavelength, its linear chirp or its temporal subpulse separation in case of pulse sequences. Multiparameter control schemes are more flexible and provide a much larger parameter space for an optimal solution. This is realized in adaptive femtosecond quantum control, in which the optimal solution is iteratively obtained through the combination of an experimental feedback signal and an automated learning algorithm. Several experiments are presented that illustrate the different control concepts and highlight their broad applicability. These fascinating achievements show the continuous progress on the way towards the control of complex quantum reactions in the condensed phase.

Abstract
Femtosecond time-resolved absorption spectroscopy has been used to elucidate the excited-state dynamics associated with formation of the (2)E excited state in a Cr(III) transition metal complex. Cr(acac)(3) (where acac is the deprotonated monoanion of acetylacetone) exhibits monophasic decay kinetics with tau = 1.1 +/- 0.1 ps following excitation into the lowest-energy ligand-field absorption band; the time constant is found to be independent of both excitation and probe wavelength across the entire (4)A(2) --> (4)T(2) absorption envelope. The lack of a significant shift in the excited-state absorption spectrum combined with the observed spectral narrowing is consistent with an assignment of this process as vibrational cooling (k(vib)) in the (2)E state. The data on Cr(acac)(3) indicate that intersystem crossing associated with the (4)T(2) --> (2)E conversion occurs at a rate k(ISC) > 10(13) s(-)(1) and furthermore competes effectively with vibrational relaxation in the initially formed (4)T(2) state. Excitation into the higher energy (4)LMCT state (lambda(ex) = 336 nm) gives rise to biphasic kinetics with tau( 1) = 50 +/- 20 fs and tau( 2) = 1.2 +/- 0.2 ps. The slower component is again assigned to vibrational cooling in the (2)E state, whereas the subpicosecond process is attributed to conversion from the charge-transfer to the ligand-field manifold. In addition to detailing a process central to the photophysics of Cr(III), these results reinforce the notion that the conventional picture of excited-state dynamics in which k(vib) > k(IC) > k(ISC) does not generally apply when describing excited-state formation in transition metal complexes.

Abstract
The photodissociation dynamics of I3- from 390 to 290 nm (3.18 to 4.28 eV) have been investigated using fast beam photofragment translational spectroscopy in which the products are detected and analyzed with coincidence imaging. At photon energies < or = 3.87 eV, two-body dissociation that generates I- + I2(A 3Pi1) and vibrationally excited I2- (X 2Sigmau+) + I(2P(3/2)) is observed, while at energies > or = 3.87 eV, I*(2P(1/2)) + I2- (X 2Sigmau+) is the primary two-body dissociation channel. In addition, three-body dissociation yielding I- +2I(2P(3/2)) photofragments is seen throughout the energy range probed; this is the dominant channel at all but the lowest photon energy. Analysis of the three-body dissociation events indicates that this channel results primarily from a synchronous concerted decay mechanism.

Abstract
The evolution of the I(-) channel in I(2)Br(-) photodissociation is examined using time-resolved negative-ion photoelectron imaging spectroscopy. The 388 nm photodetachment images obtained at variable delays following 388 nm excitation reveal the transformation of the excess electron from that belonging to an excited trihalide anion to that occupying an atomic orbital localized on the I(-) fragment. With increasing pump-probe delay, the corresponding photoelectron band narrows on a approximately 300 fs time scale. This trend is attributed to the localization of the excess-electron wave function on the atomic-anion fragment and the establishment of the fragment's electronic identity. The corresponding band position drifts towards larger electron kinetic energies on a significantly longer, approximately 1 ps, time scale. The gradual spectral shift is attributed to exit-channel interactions affecting the photodetachment energetics, as well as the photoelectron anisotropy. The time-resolved angular distributions are analyzed and found consistent with the formation of the asymptotic I(-) fragment.
