Dynamics of the Bonding Between Lithium Ions (Li+) and diethyl carbonate (DEC) at picosecond speeds.

Caption

(Left) Two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy data show bonded DEC-Li+ (inside dashed green circle) and unbonded DEC (inside dashed violet circle). (Right) After less than 10 picoseconds some of the bonds between DEC and Li+ break (violet circle, right), while other form (green circle).
