In this combined theoretical and experimental study we report a full analysis of the resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra of H2O, D2O and HDO. We demonstrate that electronically-elastic RIXS has an inherent capability to map the potential energy surface and to perform vibrational analysis of the electronic ground state in multimode systems. We show that the control and selection of vibrational excitation can be performed by tuning the X-ray frequency across core-excited molecular bands and that this is clearly reflected in the RIXS spectra. Using high level ab initio electronic structure and quantum nuclear wave packet calculations together with high resolution RIXS measurements, we discuss in detail the mode coupling, mode localization and anharmonicity in the studied systems.
Molecular structures and protonation state of 2-Mercaptopyridine in aqueous solution (2016)
Eckert, Sebastian ; Miedema, Piter ; Quevedo, Wilson ; O'Cinneide, B. ; Fondell, Mattis ; Beye, Martin ; Pietzsch, Annette ; Ross, Matthew R. ; Khalil, Munira ; Föhlisch, Alexander
The speciation of 2-Mercaptopyridine in aqueous solution has been investigated with nitrogen 1s Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure spectroscopy and time dependent Density Functional Theory. The prevalence of distinct species as a function of the solvent basicity is established. No indications of dimerization towards high concentrations are found. The determination of different molecular structures of 2-Mercaptopyridine in aqueous solution is put into the context of proton-transfer in keto-enol and thione-thiol tautomerisms.

Time-resolved soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy in transmission mode on liquids at MHz repetition rates (2017)
Fondell, Mattis ; Eckert, Sebastian ; Jay, Raphael M. ; Weniger, Christian ; Quevedo, Wilson ; Niskanen, Johannes ; Kennedy, Brian ; Sorgenfrei, Florian ; Schick, Daniel ; Giangrisostomi, Erika ; Ovsyannikov, Ruslan ; Adamczyk, Katrin ; Huse, Nils ; Wernet, Philippe ; Mitzner, Rolf ; Föhlisch, Alexander
We present a setup combining a liquid flatjet sample delivery and a MHz laser system for time-resolved soft X-ray absorption measurements of liquid samples at the high brilliance undulator beamline UE52-SGM at Bessy II yielding unprecedented statistics in this spectral range. We demonstrate that the efficient detection of transient absorption changes in transmission mode enables the identification of photoexcited species in dilute samples. With iron(II)-trisbipyridine in aqueous solution as a benchmark system, we present absorption measurements at various edges in the soft X-ray regime. In combination with the wavelength tunability of the laser system, the set-up opens up opportunities to study the photochemistry of many systems at low concentrations, relevant to materials sciences, chemistry, and biology.
Valence orbitals and local bond dynamics around N atoms of histidine under X-ray irradiation (2017)
Eckert, Sebastian ; Niskanen, Johannes ; Jay, Raphael M. ; Miedema, Piter S. ; Fondell, Mattis ; Kennedy, Brian ; Quevedo, Wilson ; Iannuzzi, Marcella ; Föhlisch, Alexander
The valence orbitals of aqueous histidine under basic, neutral and acidic conditions and their X-ray induced transformations have been monitored through N 1s resonant inelastic X-ray scattering. Using density functional ab initio molecular dynamics simulations in the core-hole state within the Z + 1 approximation, core-excitation-induced molecular transformations are quantified. Spectroscopic evidence for a highly directional X-ray-induced local N-H dissociation within the scattering duration is presented for acidic histidine. Our report demonstrates a protonation-state and chemical-environment dependent propensity for a molecular dissociation, which is induced by the absorption of high energy photons. This case study indicates that structural deformations in biomolecules under exposure to ionizing radiation, yielding possible alteration or loss of function, is highly dependent on the physiological state of the molecule upon irradiation.

Ultrafast Independent N-H and N-C Bond Deformation Investigated with Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering (2017)

The femtosecond excited-state dynamics following resonant photoexcitation enable the selective deformation of N-H and N-C chemical bonds in 2-thiopyridone in aqueous solution with optical or X-ray pulses. In combination with multiconfigurational quantum-chemical calculations, the orbital-specific electronic structure and its ultrafast dynamics accessed with resonant inelastic X-ray scattering at the N 1s level using synchrotron radiation and the soft X-ray free-electron laser LCLS provide direct evidence for this controlled photoinduced molecular deformation and its ultrashort time-scale.
Covalency-driven preservation of local charge densities in a metal-to-ligand charge-transfer excited iron photosensitizer (2019)
Jay, Raphael Martin ; Eckert, Sebastian ; da Cruz, Vinicius Vaz ; Fondell, Mattis ; Mitzner, Rolf ; Föhlisch, Alexander
Charge-density rearrangements after metal-to-ligand charge-transfer excitation in an iron photosensitizer are investigated by R. M Jay, A. Fohlisch et al. in their Communication (DOI: 10.1002/anie.201904761). By using time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy, surprising covalency-effects are revealed that inhibit charge-separation at the intra-molecular level. Furthermore, the underlying mechanism is proposed to be generally in effect for all commonly used photosensitizers in light-harvesting applications, which challenges the common perception of electronic charge-transfer.
Nuclear dynamics in resonant inelastic X-ray scattering and X-ray absorption of methanol (2019)
Vaz da Cruz, Vinícius ; Ignatova, Nina ; Couto, Rafael ; Fedotov, Daniil ; Rehn, Dirk R. ; Savchenko, Viktoriia ; Norman, Patrick ; Ågren, Hans ; Polyutov, Sergey ; Niskanen, Johannes ; Eckert, Sebastian ; Jay, Raphael Martin ; Fondell, Mattis ; Schmitt, Thorsten ; Pietzsch, Annette ; Föhlisch, Alexander ; Odelius, Michael ; Kimberg, Victor ; Gel’mukhanov, Faris
We report on a combined theoretical and experimental study of core-excitation spectra of gas and liquid phase methanol as obtained with the use of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS). The electronic transitions are studied with computational methods that include strict and extended second-order algebraic diagrammatic construction [ADC(2) and ADC(2)-x], restricted active space second-order perturbation theory, and time-dependent density functional theory-providing a complete assignment of the near oxygen K-edge XAS. We show that multimode nuclear dynamics is of crucial importance for explaining the available experimental XAS and RIXS spectra. The multimode nuclear motion was considered in a recently developed "mixed representation" where dissociative states and highly excited vibrational modes are accurately treated with a time-dependent wave packet technique, while the remaining active vibrational modes are described using Franck-Condon amplitudes. Particular attention is paid to the polarization dependence of RIXS and the effects of the isotopic substitution on the RIXS profile in the case of dissociative core-excited states. Our approach predicts the splitting of the 2a RIXS peak to be due to an interplay between molecular and pseudo-atomic features arising in the course of transitions between dissociative core- and valence-excited states. The dynamical nature of the splitting of the 2a peak in RIXS of liquid methanol near pre-edge core excitation is shown. The theoretical results are in good agreement with our liquid phase measurements and gas phase experimental data available from the literature. (C) 2019 Author(s).
