The solvation of molecules crucially affects their photostability and introduces additional pathways for relaxation dynamics compared to isolated molecules. To gain molecular-level insights into the solvation effects on the photofragmentation dynamics of a supramolecular system, we investigate the dynamics of a spatially separated pure sample of pyrrole-water (pyr-H2O) clusters prepared by the electric deflector [1-2]. This is achieved through an IR-pump-x-ray-probe experiment at EuXFEL. An ionizing IR pulse triggers the (pyr-H2O)+ fragmentation. The resulting dynamics are site-specifically probed by x-ray free-electron laser pulses [3]. This study of the hydrogen-bonded pyrrole-H2O system is particularly relevant to pyrrole-containing biomolecules and establishes a new approach to study the key role of intermolecular interactions in supermolecular dynamics.
