Abstract
Using femtosecond-resolved mass spectrometry in a molecular beam, we report real-time observation of the nonradiative, anomalous dynamics of azulene. We studied both S_2 and S_1 state dynamics. The motion of the wave packet in S_1 involves two time scales, a dephasing time of less than 100 fs and a 900±100 fs internal conversion. We discuss the dynamical picture in relation to the molecular structures and the conical intersection, and we compare with theory.
