Significance

Electron transfer is ubiquitous in chemical reactions and many biophysical processes such as respiration and photosynthesis. In this work, we show how broadband X-ray pulses can be used to change the local electronic structures of donor–bridge–acceptor (DBA) molecular systems, thus enabling and controlling electron transfer between designated sites in the molecule. An X-ray–stimulated Raman process can control electron transfer with atomic specificity and ultrafast timescale. With an appropriate X-ray pulse setting, electron pathways can be selectively enhanced. The control can be implemented at the donor, bridge, or acceptor sites in a DBA system.
