In the present work, the electron and proton transfer dynamics driven by a femtosecond pump pulse and a time-delayed femtosecond push pulse has been studied with ab initio on-the-fly nonadiabatic trajectory calculations for the hydrogen-bonded heptazine-H2O complex. While the dynamics following the pump pulse is dominated by ultrafast radiationless energy relaxation to the long-lived lowest singlet excited state (S1) of the heptazine chromophore with only minor PCET reactivity, the re-excitation of the transient S1 population by the push pulse results in a much higher PCET reaction probability. These results illustrate that pump-push excitation has the potential to unravel the individual electron and proton transfer processes of PCET reactions on femtosecond time scales.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.03355v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.03355v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"simulation-of-pump-push-molecular-dynamics-in","repo_url":"https://github.com/psebastianzjl/pushpulse_single_trajectory","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
