Two-dimensional electronic vibrational spectroscopy and ultrafast excitonic and vibronic photosynthetic energy transfer

Abstract

Two-dimensional electronic-vibrational (2DEV) spectroscopy is a new coherent spectroscopic technique, which shows considerable promise for unravelling complex molecular dynamics. In this Discussion we describe an application to the energy transfer pathway in the major light harvesting protein, LHCII, providing new data on the center line slopes (CLS) of the spectral peaks. The CLS provides information that appears unique to the 2DEV method. We then outline a general approach to calculating 2DEV spectra which is valid for strongly and weakly coupled molecular systems. We conclude with some prospects for the future development of 2DEV spectroscopy and its theoretical analysis.
