Popis: Femtosecond mid-infrared excitation of room temperature W(CO) 6 / n -hexane solutions resonant with the T 1u CO-stretching mode transfers vibrational population to at least v =6. The population distribution in levels v =0 to v =5 was measured by transient infrared absorption spectroscopy. Resonance frequencies, anharmonic shifts and spectral broadening of observed ladder transitions were also characterized. Populating v =6 deposits ∼12 000 cm −1 in a single mode which is close to the dissociation energy of one W–C bond. These results constitute a significant step toward initiation and ultimate control of condensed phase, mid-infrared induced ground state reactions relevant to practical synthetic transformations.
