Vibrational energy relaxation of the carbonyl CO stretching modes of CH3COOD and CD3COOD in D2O isstudied by frequency-resolved infrared pump-probe spectroscopy. The spectral change caused by the vibrationalexcitation includes two dynamical components with the time constants of 450 and 980 fs for CH3COOD and390 and 930 fs for CD3COOD. The two dynamical components exhibit different spectral properties. Thereare two species of acetic acid forming different complexes with solvent water molecules. The time constantsare almost the same for CH3COOD and CD3COOD, suggesting that the vibrational energy deposited to thecarbonyl group is first distributed among vibrational modes not related to the methyl group.
