Spectral signatures of the local intra- and inter-molecular structure are identified and rationalized, which facilitates experimental interpretation and optimization. In particular, comparison of aqueous and gas phase spectrum simulations assesses the previously unquantified solvatization effects, where hydrogen bonding is found to yield solvatochromatic shifts up to nearly 1 eV of the main peak positions. Thereby, while each K-edge can still decisively determine the local protonation of its core-excited site, only their combined, complementary fingerprints allow separating all of the three relevant molecular forms, giving a complete picture of the proton transfer.}, language = {en} } @misc{EckertNorellMiedemaetal.2017, author = {Eckert, Sebastian and Norell, Jesper and Miedema, Piter S. and Beye, Martin and Fondell, Mattis and Quevedo, Wilson and Kennedy, Brian and Hantschmann, Markus and Pietzsch, Annette and van Kuiken, Benjamin E. and Ross, Matthew and Minitti, Michael P. and Moeller, Stefan P. and Schlotter, William F. and Khalil, Munira and Odelius, Michael and F{\"o}hlisch, Alexander}, title = {Untersuchung unabh{\"a}ngiger N-H- und N-C-Bindungsverformungen auf ultrakurzen Zeitskalen mit resonanter inelastischer R{\"o}ntgenstreuung}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {1121}, issn = {1866-8372}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-43668}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-436688}, pages = {7}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Die Femtosekundendynamik nach resonanten Photoanregungen mit optischen und R{\"o}ntgenpulsen erm{\"o}glicht eine selektive Verformung von chemischen N-H- und N-C-Bindungen in 2-Thiopyridon in w{\"a}ssriger L{\"o}sung.
