The dynamics of the photochromic ring-closure reaction of 1,2-bis
[5-formyl-2-methyl-thien-3-yl] perfluorocyclopentene (CHO-BMTFP) in
dichloromethane were monitored by fs transient absorption
spectroscopy. The open isomer was excited using a 260fs pump pulse
tuned to the S0-S1 absorption transition at 308nm. A temporally
delayed white-light continuum probe pulse measures the rise dynamics
of the ground-state absorption spectrum of the closed isomer which
exactly displays the monoexponential dynamics of the ring-closure
reaction with a time constant of about 2.3ps. These spectroscopic data
are discussed in terms of a model potential calculated in the
collective electronic oscillator (CEO) approach.
