Notes:
Molecular dynamics simulations have been applied to study solvent cage effects on photodissociation. The results show that when the solvent cages are sufficiently rigid, such as in Lennard-Jones glasses at low temperatures and high densities, or when solvent masses are substantially greater than solute masses, photoexcitation of a solute molecule to a repulsive excited state could lead to coherent oscillatory quasibound motion. This type of motion should be observable through femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopy. © 1994 American Institute of Physics.
