Imaging the ring opening reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene with MeV ultrafast electron diffraction

We resolve the structural dynamics of the ultrafast photoinduced ring opening reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene in space and time employing megaelectronvolt gas phase ultrafast electron diffraction. We, furthermore, observe coherent large amplitude motions of the photoproduct.
