Inner shell C 1s electrons were excited in different chiral terpene molecules by monochromatized synchrotron radiation with an energy close to the C 1s electron ionization threshold. Undispersed fluorescence excitation within the range between 280 nm and 680 nm and relative ionization yields have been measured. The ionization yield measurements were compared to time dependent density functional theory calculations, revealing the site specificity of the resonant inner shell excitations. This site specificity is discussed as a means for the excitation of individual stereocenters in the investigated chiral molecules.
