Abstract

Abstract : Au–Au bond strengthening in photoexcited dimers of an Au(i ) complex is captured in solution as oscillations of femtosecond absorption signals. Abstract : Au–Au bond strengthening in photoexcited dimers of an Au(i ) complex is captured in solution as oscillations of femtosecond absorption signals. The subsequent dynamics, when compared to the trimer's data, confirm that the bent-to-linear structural change of the trimer occurs in the first few picoseconds.
