The ring-opening dynamics of the photochromic switch 1',3'-dihydro-1',3',3'-trimethyl-6-nitrospiro[2H-1-benzopyran-2,2'-(2H)-indole] in tetrachloroethene is studied with both femtosecond time-resolved ultraviolet (UV)/visible and UV/mid-infrared (IR) pump-probe spectroscopy. During the first picosecond we identify two new transient features in the UV/vis experiments, the first of which we assign to spiropyran S-1 -> S-n absorption (lifetime <= 0.2 ps). The second feature (lifetime 0.5 +/- 0.2 ps) we tentatively assign to the merocyanine T-2 state. After 1 ps both probing methods show biexponential merocyanine formation kinetics, with average time constants of 17 +/- 3 and 350 +/- 20 ps. In the UV/IR experiments, the initial dynamics show more dispersion in formation times than in the UV/vis measurements, whereas the slower time constant is the same in both. A weak transient IR signal at similar to 1360 cm(-1) demonstrates that this biexponentiality is caused by a sequential isomerization between two merocyanine species. Lifetimes provide evidence that the merocyanine S, state is not involved in the photochemical reaction.
