The properties of atoms and molecules are strongly dependent on their local environment and hydrogen bonds are of universal importance in chemistry and biochemistry. Therefore, it is highly desirable to bridge the gap between single, isolated molecules and molecules in solvation. Photophysics of microsolvated indole is significantly relevant being strongest UV chromophore of tryptohan as well as the structure of singly hydrogen bonded indole-water cluster is known [1].
Here, we show our recent experiment performed at LCLS at SLAC for the investigation of hydrogen bond breaking dynamics of indole-water clusters via UV-pump (266 nm) and x-ray probe (2.5 nm) photo-electron-photoion-photoion-coincidence (PEPIPICO) imaging. Our preliminary analysis shows timedependent dissociation channels with distinguishable velocities for hydronium ions detected in coincidence with the photo-fragments of indole.
