✦ Synopsis

We present new aspects in time-dependent theory of continuum resonance Raman scattering. Here, in the Condon approximation, the scattering tensor depends on the overlap (11 i(t) ) of the initial 1 i) and final Ifi vibrational states on the electronic ground state, the former propagated on the potential energy surface of the relevant electronically excited state. We show that the nodal structures of the spatial or momentum representations of 1 i) or Ifi are mapped, in part, on corresponding oscillatory patterns of the fundamental overlap (fl i(t) ). The phenomenon is complementary to previous reflection principles in molecular spectroscopy, where e.g. the nodal structures of 1 i) are mapped on the populations of Ifi.
