In the case of Ada-CN + , photodynamics after excitations to the first two lowest energy bands (also observed in the recent experiment by Crandall et al. ) were investigated. The corresponding ground-state recovery times are ∼120 fs for excitation energy window of eV and ∼300 fs for window eV. Thus, internal conversion is slower for Ada-CN + than for Ama + and Ada + (for the latter, a time constant of ∼100 fs was obtained for initial excitation energy of 3.5-4 eV ).
