25. In this work, many vibrational modes are excited via Raman excitation because of broad bandwidth of the pump pulse. The relaxation of those vibration modes proceeds in parallel with "reaction." Being different from T theoretical TS, the signal observed in this work shows vibration frequency changes caused by not only reaction itself but also molecular structural change etc. The molecular structure is thought to change gradually between the reactant, the TS, and the product. The state, which is continuously changing its structure between stable states (the reactant and the product), is called as "molecular structure change states including the TS."
