Femtosecond laser spectroscopy can reveal a wealth of information about catalytic processes, including:
Reaction intermediates - Identification and characterization of short-lived species that form during the reaction. Energy transfer pathways - Understanding how energy is distributed and transferred among reactants, intermediates, and products. Electron dynamics - Observation of electron movement and charge transfer processes. Vibrational modes - Analysis of molecular vibrations that play a role in reaction mechanisms.
