Measuring natural circular dichroism in the x-ray regime to extract stereochemical information from chiral molecules in solution remains a challenge. This is primarily due to technical limitations of the existing synchrotron sources, which hinder access to measurements of local chirality by exploiting core hole electronic transitions. In response to this challenge, we propose an alternative approach: utilizing XFEL-based cross-polarization x-ray transient grating (XTG). This method provides an indirect means to measure x-ray circular dichroism (XCD). Notably, our findings reveal that the signal emerges only once the excited cores have undergone dephasing through relaxation. XTG is now routinely measured in the XUV regime and has recently been made available for hard x-rays. Free electron lasers now offer polarization controls, and XTG can be extended to various polarization states for the two pump beams, making XCD measured by XTG feasible with the current state-of-the-art technology.
