Abstract
In this paper we report on the line profiles in the absorption spectra for the S0→S1 electronic origin and for the 659 and 1394 cm-1 vibrational excitations in the S1 manifold of azulene in pulsed, planar, supersonic expansions. The S1 electronic origin exhibits a Lorentzian line shape, whose homogeneous linewidth results in the lifetime τ = 0.8 ± 0.2 ps for interstate electronic relaxation in the isolated molecule.
