Two-dimensional heterodyne-detected vibrational sum frequency generation (2D HD-VSFG) spectroscopy is performed for an aqueous interface for the first time. The 2D HD-VSFG spectra in the OH stretch region are obtained from a positively charged surfactant/water interface with isotopically diluted water (HOD/D(2)O) to reveal the femtosecond vibrational dynamics of water at the charged interface. The 2D HD-VSFG spectrum is diagonally elongated immediately after photoexcitation, clearly demonstrating inhomogeneity in the interfacial water. This elongation almost disappears at 300 fs owing to the spectral diffusion. Interestingly, the 2D HD-VSFG spectrum at the 0 fs shows an oppositely asymmetric shape to the corresponding 2D IR spectrum in bulk water: The bandwidth of the bleach signal gets narrower when the pump wavenumber becomes higher. This suggests that the dynamics and mechanism of the hydrogen bond rearrangement at the charged interface are significantly different from those in bulk water.
