Probing a two-level prepared wavepacket
In photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) we can, depending on our resolution, see “signatures” of harmonic oscillator levels a and b.
If we use a laser pulse of appropriate duration we expect that the photoelectron peak intensities will oscillate at 12.
Different photoelectron peaks may have different sensitivities to the wavepacket dynamics.

So … there must be a third state involved
The S1 frequency of mode 16a is given as 228 cm-1, so 16a2 is expected at ~456 cm-1 and is a likely candidate …

“The two spectra show different intensity for transitions terminating in 162
(16a2), consistent with it being involved in the Fermi Resonance”
At this level of excitation there are not many options

This enables us to simulate the observed beating patterns for chosen coupling matrix elements, i, and compare with those observed experimentally. The most stringent test is the 16a2 beating pattern.

Summary
Simulations based on the proposed energy level scheme reproduce all observed beating patterns; thus we have determined the anharmonic coupling constants connecting three zero-order states in S1 toluene.
Time-resolved photoelectron spectra can be treated quantitatively in favourable circumstances.
The Fermi resonance originally believed to be a two-level system has been shown to be a three-level system, which is “doubled” as a consequence of small changes in vibrational frequencies in two torsional ladders.
This provides an explanation for the apparently complex IVR behaviour that has been observed for molecular systems containing methyl rotors, even at quite low densities of states.
