Title: Ultrafast X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure Reveals Ballistic Excited State Structural Dynamics

Abstract

Here, polarized ultrafast time-resolved X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) allows characterization of excited state dynamics following excitation. Excitation of vitamin B12, cyanocobalamin (CNCbl), in the αβ-band at 550 nm and the γ-band at 365 nm was used to uniquely resolve axial and equatorial contributions to the excited state dynamics. The structural evolution of the excited molecule is best described by a coherent ballistic trajectory on the excited state potential energy surface. Prompt expansion of the Co cavity by ca. 0.03 Å is followed by significant elongation of the axial bonds (>0.25 Å) over the first 190 fs. Subsequent contraction of the Co cavity in both axial and equatorial directions results in the relaxed S1 excited state structure within 500 fs of excitation.
