Abstract: , 16529-16534). Based on the detailed analysis of the current high-quality data, the lifetime of the initially prepared ππ* state is found to be 50 ± 10 fs and it is clearly evident that an intermediate Rydberg state with a lifetime of 550 ± 50 fs plays a pivotal role in the photodynamics of TDMAE. In addition, a partial wave packet revival is also observed with a period of ∼500 fs. This coherent oscillation, which is attributed to a vibrational quantum beat associated with overtones of the low-frequency C-C twist vibration in TDMAE, survives the ultrafast internal conversion processes and finally damps on a time scale of the order of several picoseconds.
