Picosecond Raman Investigation
of the Structure and Reactivity
of 4,4′-Bipyridine in the S1 State
Keyword(s):
The lowest excited singlet state (S1) of 4,4′-bipyridine (44BPY) has been studied in water and methanol by using pump-probe time-resolved resonance Raman spectroscopy in the picosecond time domain. Spectroscopic evidence for a disymmetric S1 structure with localization of the electronic excitation in one of the two pyridyl rings is given. The fast formation of the N-hydro radical 44BPYH• from the S1 state is clearly observed in methanol.
