Shape resonances in physics and chemistry arise from the spatial confinement of a particle by a potential barrier. In molecular photoionization, these barriers prevent the electron from escaping instantaneously, so that nuclei may move and modify the potential, thereby affecting the ionization process. By using an attosecond two-color interferometric approach in combination with high spectral resolution, we have captured the changes induced by the nuclear motion on the centrifugal barrier that sustains the well-known shape resonance in valence-ionized N2. We show that despite the nuclear motion altering the bond length by only 2%, which leads to tiny changes in the potential barrier, the corresponding change in the ionization time can be as large as 200 attoseconds. This result poses limits to the concept of instantaneous electronic transitions in molecules, which is at the basis of the Franck-Condon principle of molecular spectroscopy.

Two-photon spectra of the S1(Ã)–S0(X˜) transition of jet-cooled ortho-, meta- and para-xylene have been recorded in the region 43,000–37,000 cm−1 using resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization excitation. A full vibronic analysis for all three isomers has been carried out enabling the identification of several excited state vibrational frequencies for the first time. In particular, for ortho and para substitutions, a new, strong two-photon vibronic coupling mode ν19b has been identified, and the significance of this result is discussed. Some anomalies in the assignment of previously published spectra of the xylenes, and related disubstituted benzenes, have been observed and reassignments are suggested. In addition we show that the comparison of one and two-photon spectra provides a method for determining the mechanism by which totally symmetric fundamentals gain their intensity in one-photon spectra, namely either from Herzberg–Teller intensity stealing or due to favourable Franck–Condon overlap.
