Real-Time Emergence of Charge-Transfer-to-Solvent States from Core Excitation

Charge-transfer-to-solvent (CTTS) excitations provide a chemically central route to generating hydrated electrons and initiating redox chemistry in solution, yet the earliest stage of CTTS---the formation of the excited state itself---is usually treated as instantaneous. Here we present a time-domain perspective of how...
