We present the investigation of ultrafast chemical dynamics induced by UV excitation in a micro-solvated indole-water-complex system probed by time-dependent strong-field ionization, and ion mass spectroscopy [1]. Indole-water is important due to indole’s role as the chromophore of tryptophan, the strongest near UV absorber in proteins. The experimental setup contains a molecular beam and the electrostatic deflector to produce a pure gas-phase sample of indole-water [2]. We conducted a UV-IR pump-probe experiment, wherein we excited the system to the electronic excited state using 270 nm light. The dissociation dynamics of the system was monitored using strong-field multiphoton ionization by 1.3 µm wavelength light from a femtosecond laser, tracking the time-dependent ion signals of the indole and indole-water ions.
