This study introduces a new experimental method to directly measure solvent response to temperature changes in liquids. This technique improves the analysis of time-resolved X-ray scattering data during chemical reactions.

Area of Science:

  • Physical Chemistry
  • Chemical Physics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Time-resolved diffraction signals from laser-excited solutions contain solute and solvent contributions.
  • Solvent scattering is highly sensitive to thermodynamic changes, acting as a thermometer during reactions.
  • Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have aided in analyzing these complex signals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an experimental method for directly measuring solvent response to transient temperature increases.
  • To extract key thermodynamic differentials from time-resolved X-ray scattering data.
  • To improve the analysis of chemical reactions in solution using experimentally determined solvent properties.

Main Methods:

  • Excitation of methanol's overtone modes using near-infrared femtosecond laser pulses.

  • Probing solvent hydrodynamics with 100 ps X-ray pulses from a synchrotron.
  • Time-resolved X-ray diffraction to capture changes in solvent scattering.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully extracted differentials for solvent diffraction change due to temperature at constant density (approx. 100 ps).
    • Identified a term for density change at constant temperature relevant at later times (approx. 1 μs).
    • Experimental solvent differentials significantly enhanced global fits for time-resolved data of C2H4I2 in methanol.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed experimental procedure directly measures solvent response, crucial for understanding reaction dynamics.
    • The extracted thermodynamic differentials serve as fundamental building blocks for hydrodynamic equations of state.
    • This approach offers a more accurate and self-consistent analysis of solvent behavior during chemical reactions compared to simulations alone.
