Dynamics of water, methanol, and ethanol in a room temperature ionic liquid.
TL;DR: The dynamics of a series of small molecule probes with increasing alkyl chain length, investigated with 2D infrared vibrational echo spectroscopy and polarization resolved pump-probe experiments, indicate weakening of the angular potential with decreasing hydrogen bond strength.
Effects of Solvent Viscosity on Protein Dynamics: Infrared Vibrational Echo Experiments and Theory
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of solvent viscosity on the surface and internal structural dynamics of the protein myoglobin was studied using ultrafast infrared vibrational echo measurements of the pure dephasing of the A1 CO stretching mode of myoglobin−CO (Mb−CO).
Hydrogen Bond Breaking and Reformation in Alcohol Oligomers Following Vibrational Relaxation of a Non-Hydrogen-Bond Donating Hydroxyl Stretch
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the vibrational relaxation in methanol, ethanol, and 1-propanol-d dissolved in CCl4 with ultrafast infrared pump-probe experiments.

Comparison of the ultrafast to slow time scale dynamics of three liquid crystals in the isotropic phase
TL;DR: In this paper, the dynamics of three liquid crystals, 4'(pentyloxy)-4-biphenyl carbonitrile (5-OCB), 4'-pentyl-4-bi-hexyl-benzene (5CB), and 1-isothiocyanato-(4-propylcyclohexyl)benzenesene (3-CHBT), were investigated from very short time (similar to 1 ps) to very long time (>100 ns) as a function of temperature using optical heterodyne detected optical Kerr effect
