abstract = {The understanding of the temporal evolution of a molecular
systems on the atomic level is typically described by the
term molecular movie. Recording of a full time- resolved
molecular movie requires a temporal resolution in the order
of femtoseconds and a spatial resolution of picometers. The
control of gas-phase molecules can be highly advantageous or
simply necessary for the recording of such a movie. Here,
“control“ refers to the spatial separation of different
quantum states, conformers, or clusters, and the alignment
or orientation of the molecular axes in space. We present
two experiments which are utilizing the different types of
control, i.e., spatial separation and alignment, as a
preparation step for the recording of such a molecular
movie.At first, the photophysics of spatially separated
indole, and indole-water1 clusters, i.e., indole
‘solvated’ by a single water molecule, will be
discussed. The spatial separation allowed to purify the
indole-water1 clusters, which were otherwise hidden in the
soup of different generated clusters, to study the influence
of the hydrogen- bonded water on the photofragmentation of
indole. Photofragmentation was induced by side specific 1s
core hole ionization of the indole’s nitrogen or carbon
atom. Emitted electrons and ionic fragments were recorded in
coincidence, and the different fragmentation channels of the
different species will be discussed.Strongly aligned
molecules were used to image gas-phase molecules with atomic
resolution via diffractive imaging, which is a promising
tool to unravel ultrafast molecular dynamics [3,4], such as
isomerization, folding, or photofragmentation. Here,
2,5-diiodothiophene molecules were laser-aligned in the
so-called ‘intermediate regime’ between adiabatic and
impulsive alignment [5]. The laser pulses had a pulse
duration of 94 ps and were provided by a Ti:Sapphire laser
system. The strongly aligned molecules were probed by (hard)
x-ray radiation (9.5 keV) provided by the Linac Coherent
Light Source (LCLS). The alignment procedure as well as the
outcome of the experiment will be discussed.[1] Trippel,
