We present infrared transient grating measurements of complexes of formic acid with pyridine and pyrazine at four excitation frequencies within the broad proton-stretching band. These experiments investigate the mechanism of the line broadening of the O-H stretching vibration. The transients show coherent oscillations that decay within a few hundred femtoseconds and population relaxation on two time scales. We fit the data using a simple model of three coupled oscillators that relax via sequential kinetics through an intermediate state. Based on this model, we conclude that the coherent oscillations result from superpositions of Fermi-resonance-coupled states involving formic acid overtone and combination states.
