  text: The advancement of attosecond chronoscopy has made it possible to reveal ultrashort
    time dynamics of photoionization [1]. Ionization delay measurements in atomic
    targets provide a wealth of information about the timing of the photoelectric
    effect [2], resonances, electron correlations and transport. The extension of
    this approach to molecules, however, presents great challenges. In addition to
    the difficulty of identifying correct ionization channels, it is hard to disentangle
    the role of the anisotropic molecular landscape from the delays inherent to the
    excitation process itself. Here, we present the measurements of ionization delays
    from ethyl iodide around the 4d giant dipole resonance of iodine. We employ attosecond
    streaking spectroscopy, which enables to disentangle the contribution to the delay
    from the functional ethyl group, being responsible for the characteristic chemical
    reactivity of the molecule. An attosecond extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulse ionizes
    the molecule around the energy of the giant resonance and the released electron
    is exposed to the ponderomotive force of a synchronized near-infrared (NIR) field,
    which yields a streaking spectrogram (see figure). Comparative phase analysis
    of the spectrograms corresponding to iodine 4d and neon 2p emission permits extracting
    overall photoemission delays for ethyl iodide. The data is recorded for multiple
    photon energies around the iodine 4d resonance and compared to classical Wigner
    propagation [3] and quantum scattering [4] calculations. Here the outgoing electron,
    produced via inner shell ionization of the iodine atom in ethyl iodide, and thereby
    hardly influenced by the molecular potential during the birth process, acquires
    the necessary information about the influence of the functional ethyl group during
    its propagation. We find significant delay contributions that can distinguish
    between different functional groups, providing a sensitive probe of the local
    molecular environment [5]. This would stimulate to perform further angle resolved
    measurements in molecules to probe the potential landscape in three dimension.
