Fig. 5: Transient absorption recovery of ground state pyruvate after excitation at 200 nm.

From: Aqueous pyruvate partly dissociates under deep ultraviolet irradiation but is resilient to near ultraviolet excitation

a The transient absorption recovery of the C-CH3 stretch at 1176 cm−1 (dots). The absorption dynamics is well approximated by the single exponential function: ΔA = − 0.50 mOD × exp(−t/6.5 ps) −0.065 mOD (red line). b The transient absorption trace at 1194 cm−1 (dots). The absorption dynamics is well approximated by the single exponential function: ΔA = 0.15 mOD × exp(−t/9.2 ps) + 0.011 mOD (red line). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
