Femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron imaging (TR-PEI) is applied to the (1 + 2‘) resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization of pyrazine (1,4-diazabenzene) via the S1 state. The intersystem crossing (ISC) from the S1 (nπ*) to the T1 (nπ*) state and the ionization dynamics from 3s and 3pz Rydberg states are investigated. Rotational revival features, observed in the time-resolved photoelectron intensities from the T1 state populated by ISC as well as from the optically prepared S1 state, are analyzed in detail. The alignment at the rotational revival time in the T1 state is found to be much smaller than that in the S1 state. Numerical calculations, using the molecular eigenstate basis and taking account of the angular momentum coupling, to model the transfer of coherence between the S1 and T1 states are presented. The calculated time dependence of signal strength and the axis alignment are found to be in excellent agreement with the observed profiles. The diminished alignment in T1 is explained by the angu...
