The formation of the charge-transfer (CT) state of 4-dimethylamino-3,Sdimethylbenzonitrile (TMABN) is studied in a supersonic free jet. In agreement with the observation byRotkiewjcz and Rubaszewska in the gas phase, the CT emission appears upon excitation of TMABN isolated in a free jet. The struct

✦ Synopsis
The S I state of jet-cooled 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)-4'-cyanostilbene (DCS) was studied by picosecond fluorescence spectroscopy. The line structure of the S O -* Sl-excitation spectrum is a superposition of transitions characteristic of isolated trans-sti~bene and the dimethylamino group. Rotational contour analysis and rotational coherence spectroscopy suggest a non-planar geometry of DCS in both electronic states. Fluorescence decays are monoexponential up to 3700 cm-I above the origin at 27038 cm-~. The lifetimes vary little up to 733 cm-~ ((¢) = 2.097 ns) and start to decrease above this energy because of the onset of photoisomerization. An RRKM-fit to the non-radiative rate coefficients yields a barrier height g o = 745 cm-I.
