Probing ultrafast ππ*/nπ* internal conversion in organic chromophores via K-edge resonant absorption

Many photo-induced processes such as photosynthesis occur in organic molecules, but their femtosecond excited-state dynamics are difficult to track. Here, the authors exploit the element and site selectivity of soft X-ray absorption to sensitively follow the ultrafast ππ*/nπ* electronic relaxation o...
