Resolving structural changes in photoinduced reactions in solution with X rays and electrons
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The need for efficient, low-cost solar energy capture has driven interest in mechanistic understanding of light-induced chemical reactions in solution, for instance, natural and artificial photosynthesis. Resolving the structural changes of a molecule during a photoinduced reaction in solution can be challenging, however, with many interdependent intra- and inter-molecular degrees of freedom. This thesis reports experiments using three techniques that can be used to disentangle structural changes during photoinduced reactions: x-ray absorption spectroscopy, valence-to-core x-ray emission spectroscopy, and ultrafast electron diffraction.
