Abstract
When electronically excited, triphenylmethane (TPM) dyes undergo barrierless large amplitude motion (isomerization) leading to rapid internal conversion to the ground electronic state.1 Because the reaction coordinate for this process is barrierless (or nearly so), the relaxation is dominated by the viscous damping and thermal driving forces of the solvent environment.
