Solvation of molecules crucially affects their photostability and opens additional pathways for the relaxation dynamics compared to isolated molecules. We intend to get molecular-level insight into the solvation effect in photofragmentation dynamics of a supramolecular system through our molecular beam experiments with stoichiometrically well-defined pyrrole-water (Pyr-H2O) clusters [1]. Concretely, the dissolvation dynamics of the spatially separated pure sample of Pyr-H2O clusters prepared by the electric deflector was investigated through an IR-pump-x-ray-probe experiment. The singly ionizing IR-pulse triggers the (Pyr-H2O)+ fragmentation, which is then site-specifically probed by x-ray free-electron laser pulses [2] at different times of the pyrrole-H2O separation. The study of the hydrogen-bound Pyr-H2O system is especially relevant to abundant pyrrole-containing biomolecules and establishes a novel approach for investigating the key role of intermolecular interactions in supramolecular dynamics.
