Abstract
Femtosecond pump probe spectroscopy proves that self-trapping occurs in the NH and amide I band of crystalline acetanilide (ACN). The phonon modes that mediate the self-trapping are identified. Comparison between ACN and N-methylacetamide, both model systems for proteins, shows that self-trapping is a common feature in hydrogen bonded systems.
