  title = {Intrinsic photophysics of nitrophenolate ions studied by cryogenic ion spectroscopy},
  abstract = {The intrinsic photophysics of nitrophenolate isomers (<em>meta, para, </em>and <em>ortho</em>) was studied at low temperature using photodissociation mass spectrometry in a cryogenic ion trap instrument. Each isomer has distinct photophysics that affects the excited state lifetimes, as observed experimentally in their spectroscopic linewidths. Visible-light-induced excitation of <em>m</em>-nitrophenolate gives rise to well-resolved vibronic features in the spectrum of the S<sub>1</sub> state. The <em>para </em>and <em>ortho </em>isomers have broad spectra - even at cryogenic temperatures - due to their shorter excited state lifetimes and spectral congestion. We present computational evidence for mixing of the first and second excited states of\&nbsp;<em>o</em>-nitrophenolate, leading to significant additional broadening in the experimental spectrum.</p>},
