Figure 6
(a) Transient Ru L3-edge spectra of tris(bipyridine) ruthenium(II) chloride ([Ru(bpy)3]2+) at time delays of 50 fs, 10 ps, and 300 ps (open circles and lines). The previously reported difference spectrum at 300 ps (red solid line) [reprinted with permission from Saes et al. (2003). Copyright (2003) by the American Physical Society]. (b) A kinetic trace of transient X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at the negative transient peak (2840.5 eV). The inset shows the Gaussian instrument response function and the step function resulting in the fitted curve. |
