Coupling between vibrations, and between vibrations and torsions-a generalization of intramolecular vibrational redistribution (IVR)-provides routes to internal energy delocalization, which can stabilize molecules following photoexcitation. Following earlier work on p-fluorotoluene (pFT), this study focuses on m-fluorotoluene (mFT) as probed via the S-1 <-> S-0 electronic transitions and the D-0(+) <- S-1 ionization, using two-dimensional laser-induced fluorescence and zero-electron-kinetic energy spectroscopy, respectively. Wavenumbers are reported for a number of vibrations in the S-0, S-1, and D-0(+) states and found to compare well to those calculated. In addition, features are seen in the mFT spectra, not commented on in previous studies, which can be assigned to transitions involving vibration-torsion (vibtor) levels. Comparisons to the previous work on both m-difluorobenzene and mFT are also made, and some earlier assignments are revised. At lower wavenumbers, well-defined interactions between vibrational and vibtor levels are deduced-termed restricted IVR, while at higher wavenumbers, such interactions evolve into more-complicated interactions, moving toward the statistical IVR regime. It is then concluded that a comparison between mFT and pFT is less straightforward than implied in earlier studies.
