Abstract
  
Time-resolved laser spectroscopy and established x-ray methods have recently been
combined to probe the local electronic  and  molecular  structure  with  femtosecond
x-ray pulses in time and energy. In the  soft x-ray  range,  core-level  transition  are
particularly sensitive to valence-charge distributions and to chemical coordination of
and structure around  lighter  elements (C, N, O etc.)  that  are  biologically  relevant,
holding tremendous potential for following chemical bonding and the formation of new
molecular species in real time. This is particularly powerful for understanding molecular
dynamics in solution, where important chemistry occurs. We study the  ultrafast  spin
cross-over  reaction  in  a  solvated  iron(II)  complex  by  femtosecond  soft x-ray
spectroscopy of the iron L-edges. Our recent  results  in  combination  with  charge
transfer multiplet calculations reveal a wealth of information on  the  changes  of  the
electronic valence charge distributions, including  changes  in  ligand-field  splitting,
orbital delocalization and population, and the influence of ligand π-backbonding on
ultrafast timescales.
