Abstract

\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{0pt} \includegraphics[scale=0.3]{Abstract Figurec.eps} \end{wrapfigure} The dynamics of aniline in water, after excitation along its lowest energy absorption (267 nm), has been investigated, from the femto (fs) to the nanoseconds (ns) scale, by pump-probe broadband transient absorption (TA) methods. The complex prompt TA spectrum, which evolves over the fs to ns scales, is analyzed by using a pump-repump-probe scheme that permits to interrogate the nature of the contributing species. The results permit us to identify, in addition to the long-living $\pi$$\pi$$^{*}$ state responsible of the fluorescence, the formation of a charge transfer to solvent state (CTTS) that will autoionize to form the fully solvated cation and electron. The nature of this CTTS state is discussed in terms of the 3s/$\pi$$\sigma$$^{*}$ state characterized in the gas phase\footnote{J. O. F. Thompson \textit{et al.} \textit{J. Chem.
