The structure and time-dependent dynamics of molecules in the gas phase reveal a plethora of information about fundamental processes in nature. X-rays and electrons are typically used to image the molecular structure using diffraction techniques. In that respect, x-ray pulses provided by XFELs have the potential to study the chemical dynamics of gaseous molecules on the ultrafast time scale with sub-picometer spatial resolution. Here, we present our computational results using CMIdiffract, an in-house software package developed to compare experimental diffraction images with theory. The package incorporates various aspects of x-ray diffraction experiments, e.g., angular distributions of molecular samples.
