Aims and Scope
The series Topics in Current Chemistry Collections presents critical reviews from
the journal Topics in Current Chemistry organized in topical volumes. The scope
of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related
disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science.
The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in
academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is
emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience.
Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and
places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant
developments of the last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to
illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended to be an
exhaustive summary of the field or include large quantities of data, but should
rather be conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow
the non-specialist reader to understand the information presented.
Contributions also offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field.

Preface
Constant development of new spectroscopy methods promise unchallengeable
breakthroughs in unraveling natural phenomena and in the development of new
materials, a crucial aspect in several fields of our technological society. Novel
methods based on light interaction with matter have been a prime tool to investigate
optical, electronic, structural, as well magnetic properties of matter. Particularly in
time resolved spectroscopy, methods involving multiple, i.e. non-linear, light-
matter interactions have been rapidly developing to become a very valuable
spectroscopy tool in the investigation of new phenomena.
This topical collection focuses on recent developments in so-called
multidimensional time-resolved spectroscopy methods. Over the last decade,
multidimensional methods have undergone tremendous progress and extended over
a very broad spectral range from the THz to the ultraviolet, allowing for
investigation of all kinds of (bio)molecules, aggregates, solid compounds and
composite systems, only to name a few examples. In spite of that, non-specialists
are still facing several obstacles in understanding what kind of information
multidimensional spectroscopy contains. One of the major obstacles is the tsunami
of experimental techniques variants and terminologies used. In this sense, this
topical collection pursues three goals. (i) The first one is to offer a very general
overview of all the techniques in one single place. This, we believe, is a unique
opportunity for newcomers as well as for users of a specific technique to learn and
understand how complementary the content information among techniques can be
in spite of differing spectral ranges or other technical features. (ii) The second goal
is to review what these techniques can do for scientists of akin areas. This is richly
illustrated in each one of the contributions of this Topics in Current Chemistry by
discussing several recent experimental and numerical examples. (iii) The last
objective is to discuss what are the open experimental and computational questions
and the challenges still facing the community.
This collection has been organized to largely reflect these questions. The
opening chapter by Kraack and Buckup is strongly recommended to anyone new to
the field, since it addresses general points like terminology and classification of

multidimensional techniques, which are used in the rest of the collection. It also
deals with questions about why or when to use multidimensional spectroscopy. The
following contributions focus on the different types of techniques, which were
grouped in regard to the spectral region. The second and third contributions by
Maiuri and Brazard and Segarra-Marti et al. review the experimental and theoretical
developments of 2D Electronic Spectroscopy, respectively. Coupling between
electronic states is the central topic of these two contributions. The contribution
“Ultrafast structural molecular dynamics investigated with 2D infrared
spectroscopy methods” by Kraack reviews in detail multidimensional techniques
variants in the infrared spectral region. The topic of the chapter “Multidimensional
Vibrational Coherence Spectroscopy” is Stimulated Raman spectroscopies and the
mapping of Raman active vibrations in different electronic states. In the
contribution “Two-Dimensional Resonance Raman Signatures of Vibronic
Coherence Transfer in Chemical Reactions” by Guo et al, the latter topic is
expanded to elucidate the coherence transfer process in small molecules. Finally,
the contribution by Lu et al reviews the multidimensional techniques in the
terahertz spectral region and mixtures of these techniques with other variants.
We would like to thank all authors for their contributions and exceptional effort.
The Editors also specially thank the referees for their outstanding comments and
insights in the review process of this Topics in Current Chemistry.
