multidimensional techniques, which are used in the rest of the collection. It also
deals with questions about why or when to use multidimensional spectroscopy. The
following contributions focus on the different types of techniques, which were
grouped in regard to the spectral region. The second and third contributions by
Maiuri and Brazard and Segarra-Marti et al. review the experimental and theoretical
developments of 2D Electronic Spectroscopy, respectively. Coupling between
electronic states is the central topic of these two contributions. The contribution
“Ultrafast structural molecular dynamics investigated with 2D infrared
spectroscopy methods” by Kraack reviews in detail multidimensional techniques
variants in the infrared spectral region. The topic of the chapter “Multidimensional
Vibrational Coherence Spectroscopy” is Stimulated Raman spectroscopies and the
mapping of Raman active vibrations in different electronic states. In the
contribution “Two-Dimensional Resonance Raman Signatures of Vibronic
Coherence Transfer in Chemical Reactions” by Guo et al, the latter topic is
expanded to elucidate the coherence transfer process in small molecules. Finally,
the contribution by Lu et al reviews the multidimensional techniques in the
terahertz spectral region and mixtures of these techniques with other variants.
We would like to thank all authors for their contributions and exceptional effort.
The Editors also specially thank the referees for their outstanding comments and
insights in the review process of this Topics in Current Chemistry.
