The dynamics of proton transfer in the first excited singlet state of malonaldehyde [à 1B1(pi*n)] have been investigated through the use of high-resolution degenerate four-wave mixing spectroscopy. Observed à 1B1–X-tilde 1A1 (pi*<--n) rovibronic features are at odds with previous absorption measurements and cannot be explained readily through the accepted description of tunneling behavior within the à 1B1(pi*n) potential surface. ©1997 American Institute of Physics.

  11. Owing to the pronounced structural nonrigidity that accompanies the large amplitude tunneling motion of malonaldehyde, the most useful description of symmetry properties is provided by the complete nuclear permutation-inversion group of order four: G4. Since G4 is conveniently isomorphic with the C2upsilon molecular symmetry group, it is possible to classify and label the vibronic structure of nonrigid malonaldehyde in terms of the same irreducible representations employed for the rigid planar configuration of the symmetrical (C2upsilon) transition state.

  31. Since the fine structure observed on prominent four-wave mixing features cannot be attributed to isolated rovibronic transitions, the actual lifetime of Ã1B1 malonaldehyde is probably much longer than the 10 ps lower limit established by measured spectral linewidths.
