It might be mentioned, though, that the somewhat more sophisticated, heterodyned, version of optical Kerr effect spectroscopy discussed in ref 21 seems to lend itself nicely to physical interpretation.

52. The so-called isolated binary collision (or isolated binary interaction) model for vibrational population relaxation in liquids can be written in a number of different guises, depending on how literally some of its tenets are taken. At its most literal, only equilibrium information about the solution is required. The basic ideas are reviewed in: Chesnoy, J.; Gale, G. M. Adv. Chem. Phys. 1988, 70 (part 2), 297.

63. Electronic excitation is not the only way to prepare nonequilibrium electronic states on an ultrafast time scale. One can also attempt create a "new" solute either as a product of a photoinduced reaction [Ernsting, N. P. In Ultrafast Phenomena VIII; Martin, L.-J., Migus, A., Mourou, G. A., Zewail, A. H., Eds.; Springer-Verlag: Berlin, 1993; pp 638-640] or via electron injection into a pure solvent or solution. In the photoinduced case, one produces a brand new solute, the electron, whose solvation dynamics can be monitored spectroscopically, as will be discussed later. In the case of electron injection into solutions, one can use the fact that electrons will attach themselves rapidly to preexisting solutes (such as benzophenone, ref 47) and thereby create a negative ion, whose solvation can be observed spectroscopically.

96. We note that in the cases of tetrazine and dimethyltetrazine, where the solvation dynamics being observed appears to be mainly related to dispersion interactions, the dynamics of solvation has also been modeled using a continuum solvent approach (ref 45a). Rather than focusing on dielectric behavior, the model instead treats the solvent as an elastic continuum and relates the observable dynamics to relaxation of shear waves in the fluid.
97. A number of these theories have been reviewed by Maroncelli (ref 42) and by Raineri et al. (Raineri, F. O.; Zhou, Y.; Friedman, H. L. Chem. Phys. 1991, 152, 201).

105. More sophisticated modeling has been performed in which the electronic structure of the solute has been allowed to equilibrate in response to the solvent. For example, refs 61b and 61d have considered the behavior of a solute whose charge distribution reacts to the state of the classical solvent via a quantum mechanical polarizability (see also ref 52a for a classical analog). The dynamics observed with these quantum-mechanical solutes are not substantially different from the behavior observed with classical solutes. (See also the discussion of electron solvation and refs 75 and 77.)

113. Photon echo measurements (Joo, T.; Jia, Y.; Fleming, G. R. Reference 10) do appear to have sufficient resolution to detect the Gaussian character of the initial solvation response in some solvents.

118. For example: Reference 63c and Neria, E.; Nitzan, A. J. Chem. Phys. 1992, 96, 5433 deliberately used various sorts of artificial constraints in order to demonstrate that rotational motion is the dominant relaxation mechanism.

121. The possibility of getting at spectral densities directly through experimental means has been explored in a number of papers: Cho, M.; Rosenthal, S. J.; Scherer, N. F.; Ziegler, L. D.; Fleming, G. R. Reference 22. Vöhring, P.; Arnett, D. C.; Westervelt, R. A.; Feldstein, M. J.; Scherer, N. F. J. Chem. Phys. 1995, 102, 4027.

123. Perhaps the way to envision these possibilities is to imagine conducting a series of experiments in which we successively populate different excited electronic states of the solute, thereby allowing us to switch between various different interactions with the solvent.

144. 2 were pointed mainly at providing an experimental look at the role of solvent cages in solution-phase chemical reactions, but it soon became clear that these experiments were actually intriguing case studies in vibrational relaxation.

149. There is yet other evidence that solvent energy reservoirs have some fairly well-defined preferences with regard to the amounts of energy they care to transfer. Vibration-to-vibration energy transfer between small molecules in liquids has been compared carefully with the equivalent transfer in gases. The results display a pronounced dependence on the frequency mismatch between the molecules, the shape of which is suggestive of a spectrum of liquid modes capable of making up the energy difference.

162. For harmonic vibrations these equations can be derived quite rigorously by projection operator techniques: Zwanzig, R. Lect. Theor. Phys. 1961, 3, 106.
163. Mori, H. Prog. Theor. Phys. 1965, 33, 423. The purely formal expressions that result are rarely used in their exact form, however; while there is a set of rules for how the necessary projection operators work, there is no explicit microscopic prescription for constructing them.
164. When the friction is approximated by its equivalent on a rigid bond, this result is the just the Landau-Teller theory for vibrational relaxation, though the rigid-bond version can be regarded more generally as direct consequence of low-order perturbation theory: Oxtoby, D. W. Adv. Chem. Phys. 1981, 47, 487. For a derivation from the generalized Langevin equation not assuming rigid bonds, see ref 24. Simulation evidence for how well these expressions do is presented in refs 24 and 85.

177. A spectrum of couplings J(ω) irreversibly combines two different kinds of information - time scale information (a set of frequencies) and liquid-structure information (a coupling constant for each frequency) - into a single, aggregate function. Thus, even if there is some genuinely fundamental set of frequencies for a liquid, each new experiment conducted on the liquid will still have its own set of coupling constants and therefore its own spectrum of couplings. Unfortunately, without any molecular information as to what goes into the coupling constants, such J(ω)'s cannot possibly tell us what the fundamental spectrum is.
