| contents | The development of X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) has enabled ultrafast X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments, which are capable of resolving electronic/vibrational transitions and structural changes in molecules, or capturing molecular movies. While time-resolved XRD has received increasing attention, the extraction of information content from signals is challenging and requires theoretical support. In this work, we combined X-ray scattering theory and trajectory surface hopping approach to resolve dynamical changes in the electronic structure of photo-excited molecules by studying time evolution of electron density changes between electronic excited states and ground state. Using pyrazine molecule as an example, we show that key features of reaction pathways can be identified, enabling the capture of structural changes associated with electronic transitions for a photo-excited molecule. |
