We use time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy with wavelength-selected XUV femtosecond pulses to study photoinduced dynamics of organic molecules in solutions at millimolar concentrations. Upon electronic excitation we observe relaxation processes, such as excited state intramolecular proton transfer and trans-cis isomerization.
