Time-resolved photoelectron imaging was used to study non-adiabatic relaxation dynamics in N,N-dimethylisopropylamine, N,N-dimethylpropylamine and N-methylpyrrolidine following excitation at 200 nm. This series of tertiary aliphatic amines are all of similar chemical makeup, but exhibit differences in their structure - being branched, straight-chain and cyclic, respectively. Our experimental investigation, supported by extensive theoretical calculations, provides considerable new insight into the nature of the internal conversion processes that mediate dynamical evolution between electronic states of predominantly Rydberg character in this important class of model photochemical systems. In particular, the angle-resolved data afforded by the imaging approach (something not previously reported for tertiary aliphatic amines) offers novel and highly-detailed mechanistic information about the overall relaxation pathway. Strikingly, both the experimental and theoretical findings suggest that a critical factor driving the non-adiabatic dynamics is the evolution of valence character along an N-C stretching coordinate within a member of the 3p manifold. This is in stark contrast to primary and secondary amines, as well as many other small hetero-atom containing organic species, where evolution of valence character within the 3s state is now a well-established phenomenon implicated in mediating ultrafast non-adiabatic photochemistry.
