Abstract
Photodissociation of Cr(CO)6 results in the loss of CO to form Cr(CO)5. In solution the pentacarbonyl species rapidly coordinates to the solvent and can therefore be used as a probe of solvent dynamics. Recent ultrafast studies of this simple reaction have resulted in controversy(1-6) regarding the dynamics of these various processes. We have used picosecond transient Raman spectroscopy to investigate the detailed dynamics of this reaction.
