Abstract
Using femtosecond absorption spectroscopy, the photodissociation dynamics of HgI2 in solution were investigated. Upon photolysis, the HgI fragment is formed in a coherent superposition of its vibrational states. Solvent dependence of the wave packet motion is evidenced by the different results for ethanol and DMSO and between solution and gas phase.Keywords
