In the present study, we examine the time-resolved photoelectron spectra of IBr^-. In the photodetachment studies performed by Sanov and co-workers and Lineberger and co-workers, the anionic species, prepared in its electronic ground state (^2Σ_{1/2}^+), is excited to either its \Atilde' (^2Π_{3/2}) or \Btilde (^2Σ_{1/2}^+) excited state, before electron photodetachment and dissociation on the \Ctilde (^1Π_1) or higher-lying excited states of the neutral species, respectively. In this work, we use the electronic structure program Columbus to calculate the six lowest electronic states of IBr^- and the ten lowest Σ states of IBr at the MR-SO-CISD/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory/basis, using relativistic core potentials for I and Br. Experimentally determined electronic states of IBr are also used. Vibrational eigenstates for these electronic states are calculated in a discrete variable representation, and propagation of the thermally populated \Xtilde-state vibrational wave functions on either the \Atilde' or \Btilde electronic states of the anion is performed using a Lanczos scheme. We then take time-dependent overlaps between these propagated states and the vibrational eigenstates of the neutral surface. Results for IBr^- show good agreement with the experimental time-resolved spectra. Extensions to IBr^-(CO_2)_n (n < 2) will also be discussed.
