Extended Data Fig. 9: Structural analysis of the three types of vibrational motions of the T1 state.
From: Mapping the emergence of molecular vibrations mediating bond formation

Experimental residual difference scattering curves (black lines) at several time delays after 360 fs and their theoretical fits (red lines), obtained from the structural analysis. a–c, For the structural analysis, vibrations of \({{\rm{T}}}_{1}^{{\prime} }\) at later times (>360 fs) were classified into three types of vibrational motions (symmetric stretching, asymmetric stretching and bending). We performed the structural analysis for each of the three cases considering symmetric stretching motions (a), asymmetric stretching motions (b) and bending motions (c) of \({{\rm{T}}}_{1}^{{\prime} }\). d, For comparison, all the three structural parameters of \({{\rm{T}}}_{1}^{{\prime} }\) were used for the structural analysis.
