abstract = {The properties of atoms and molecules are strongly
dependent on their environment and hydrogen bonds are of
universal importance in chemistry and biochemistry.
Therefore, it is highly desirable to bridge the gap between
single, isolated molecules and molecules in solvation.Here,
we present results on the photofragmentation of indole, the
chromophore of the amino acid tryptophan, and indole-water1
clusters, i.e., indole ‘solvated’ by a single water
molecule. The indole-water1 clusters were spatially
separated from monomeric indole using the electric deflector
[1,2]. The photofragmentation was induced by side specific
1s core hole ionization of the indole’s nitrogen or carbon
atom leading to a relaxation of the highly excited molecules
and clusters via an emission of electrons and/or photons and
subsequent Coulomb explosion. Photo and Auger electrons as
well as ionic fragments were recorded in coincidence with a
double-sided velocity map imaging (VMI) spectrometer. The
photofragmentation of indole and indole-water was compared
by means of (photoelectron-) photoion-photoion coincidence
(PIPICO, Fig. 1) maps, i.e., only channels where at least
two ionic fragments could be detected have been compared.
Charge, proton or hydrogen transfer to the hydrogen bonded
water molecule, as well as different Coulomb explosion
channels, due to further emission of electrons on the
indole-side of the cluster, were observed. The results will
be discussed based on the fragmentation channels of the
different species, photoelectron and ion VMI images for
different ionic fragments, and the 3D reconstruction of the
molecule's orientation.Additionally, we present first
results the photophysics following core hole ionization from
the oxygen 1s of the hydrogen bonded water. Moreover, we
discuss prospects for future time-resolved experiments
utilizing UV pump–XFEL probe schemes to unravel the energy
flow in UV-excited tryptophan and corresponding peptides.
The indole-water experiment was carried out in a
collaboration with DESY and Kansas State University. The
experiment was conducted at the Variable Polarization XUV
Beamline P04 of PETRA III at DESY.References[1] S. Trippel,
