Unravelling overlaps and torsion-facilitated coupling using two-dimensional laser-induced fluorescence (2018)
Journal Article
Kemp, D. J., Gardner, A. M., Tuttle, W. D., & Wright, T. G. (2019). Unravelling overlaps and torsion-facilitated coupling using two-dimensional laser-induced fluorescence. Molecular Physics, 117(21), 3011-3026. https://doi.org/10.1080/00268976.2018.1554865

Two-dimensional laser-induced fluorescence (2D-LIF) spectroscopy is employed to identify contributions to fluorescence excitation spectra that arise from both overlapping bands and coupling between zero-order states (ZOSs). Evidence is found for the... Read More about Unravelling overlaps and torsion-facilitated coupling using two-dimensional laser-induced fluorescence.

Identifying complex Fermi resonances in p-difluorobenzene using zero-electron-kinetic-energy (ZEKE) spectroscopy (2018)
Journal Article

Effects of symmetry, methyl groups and serendipity on intramolecular vibrational energy dispersal (2018)
Journal Article
Tuttle, W. D., Gardner, A. M., Whalley, L. E., Kemp, D. J., & Wright, T. G. (2019). Effects of symmetry, methyl groups and serendipity on intramolecular vibrational energy dispersal. Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 21(26), 14133-14152. https://doi.org/10.1039/C8CP02757A

We consider two key parameters that have been proposed to be important for vibrational energy delocalization, closely related to intramolecular vibrational redistribution (IVR), in molecules. These parameters are the symmetry of the molecule, and the... Read More about Effects of symmetry, methyl groups and serendipity on intramolecular vibrational energy dispersal.

Consistent assignment of the vibrations of symmetric and asymmetric meta-disubstituted benzenes (2018)
Journal Article
Kemp, D. J., Tuttle, W. D., Jones, F. M., Gardner, A. M., Andrejeva, A., Wakefield, J. C., & Wright, T. G. (in press). Consistent assignment of the vibrations of symmetric and asymmetric meta-disubstituted benzenes. Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy, 346, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jms.2018.02.002

The assignment of vibrational structure in spectra gives valuable insights into geometric and electronic structure changes upon electronic excitation or ionization; particularly when such information is available for families of molecules. We give a... Read More about Consistent assignment of the vibrations of symmetric and asymmetric meta-disubstituted benzenes.
