This comprehensive book delves into the intricate interplay between structure and dynamics in organic molecules, utilizing a wide range of femtosecond time-resolved experiments and cutting-edge theoretical approaches. It explores a largely unexplored domain of molecular dynamics, offering an exceptional overview and providing novel insights into the concept of the dynamophore, a fundamental functional group in the realm of ultrafast science.

The book is organized into four parts, each covering different aspects of the study. The first part focuses on experimental investigations into the VUV photoinduced dynamics of four cyclic ketones and one linear ketone, examining ring-opening and dissociative processes. The second part explores the potential for ultrafast intersystem crossing in three methylated benzene derivatives. The third part delves into the ring-opening and dissociative dynamics of cyclopropane, while the fourth part examines model systems for the disulfide bond and the peptide bond, which are crucial in understanding protein structure.

Throughout the book, detailed experimental protocols and comprehensive theoretical explanations are provided, making it accessible to scholars with diverse backgrounds in molecular dynamics. The authors have carefully crafted a highly informative and well-organized text that offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of organic molecules. This book will be of great interest to researchers, students, and professionals in the field of chemistry, physics, and biochemistry.
