Femtosecond Raman-induced Kerr effect study of polar solvent dynamics: Amides

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10186006
We have measured the ultrafast pure solvent dynamics of highly power liquids, formamide (FA), N-methylformamide (NMF), N-methylacetamide (NMA), N-methylpropioamide (NMP) and N,N{prime}-dimethylformamide (DMF) using femtosecond optical-heterodyne-detected Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy (OHD-RIKES). The effects of deuteration and temperature-dependence were studied to characterize in detail both the inertial (or non-diffusive) and diffusive intermolecular motions in these liquids.
