Sigma*-mediated electronic relaxation in 200nm photoexcited ammonia and heteroaromatics

Time–resolved photoelectron spectra of ammonia display combination bands of the umbrella and stretching modes associated with the N–H coordinate of σ* relaxation. Time–resolved photodissociation studies determine timescales <200fs. Similar σ* photochemistry is found in heteroaromatics
