Intensity changes in Stokes resonance Raman spectra of photoexcited quaterphenyl arefound to result from 17 ps timescale changes in resonance frequency and width and alsoin Franck-Condon displacements. The 766 cm -1 anti-Stokes band shows a significanthot population which decays on a similar timescale. The results show that populationrelaxation, vibronic coupling and solvent reorganisation are all significant on thistimescale.
