The first resonance Raman and hyper‐Raman scattering from naphthalene are reported. Fourth harmonic of a mode‐locked Nd:YAG laser is used to resonantly excite the 1B1u+ transition, producing Raman spectra that confirm the dominance of the vibronically active ν28 (b3g) mode and the Franck–Condon active ag modes, ν5 and ν3. A synchronously pumped stilbene dye laser and its second harmonic are employed as the excitation sources for hyper‐Raman and Raman scattering from the overlapping 1B2u+ and 1Ag− states. The Raman spectra indicate that the equilibrium geometry of naphthalene is distorted primarily along ν5, ν8, and ν7 normal coordinates upon excitation to 1B2u+. The hyper‐Raman spectrum shows that ν25 (b2u) is the mode principally responsible for vibronic coupling between the 1Ag− and 1B2u+ states. The results demonstrate the advantageous features of resonance hyper‐Raman scattering for the case of overlapping one‐ and two‐photon allowed transitions. Calculations based on simple molecular orbital configur...
