Electronic–vibrational interplay can enable electron and energy transfer processes to be regulated. Now, coherence spectroscopy has been used to disentangle two vibrational pathways that control an electron transfer reaction. It has been shown that a fast, effectively ballistic, electron transfer along one vibrational path acts like a pulse to generate a coherent wavepacket along another vibrational pathway.
