Understanding the chirality of molecular reaction pathways is essential for a broad range of fundamental and applied sciences. However, the current ability to probe chirality on the time scale of chemical reactions remains very limited. Here, we demonstrate time-resolved photoelectron circular dichroism (TRPECD) with ultrashort circularly polarized vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) pulses from a table-top source. We demonstrate the capabilities of VUV-TRPECD by resolving the chirality changes in time during the photodissociation of atomic iodine from two chiral molecules. We identify several general key features of TRPECD, which include the ability to probe dynamical chirality along the complete photochemical reaction path, the sensitivity to the local chirality of the evolving scattering potential, and the influence of electron scattering off dissociating photofragments. Our results are interpreted by comparison with novel high-level ab-initio calculations of transient PECDs from molecular photoionization calculations. Our experimental and theoretical techniques define a general approach to femtochirality.

光电子圆二色性是指光电子角分布相对于圆偏振光的传播轴的前/后不对称性。最近在随机取向的樟脑和小茴香酮分子的飞秒多光子光电离实验中证实了这一点[C。Lux等人,Angew. Chem.Int.Ed.51,5001(2012);C. S. Lehmann等人,J. Chem.Phys.139,234307(2013)]。建立了一个理论框架,将这一过程描述为(2+1)共振增强多光子电离,它包括随机取向分子的双光子光选择和光选择分子的连续单光子电离。它结合了光-物质相互作用的微扰理论与从头计算的双光子吸收和单中心扩展的光电子波函数的氢连续函数。验证了该模型正确地再现了在旋向和轻螺旋度交换下预期的基本对称行为。当它应用到茴香酮和樟脑,半定量协议与实验数据被发现,其中一个足够的d波字符的电子激发中间态是至关重要的。
