We present preliminary results of an XUV-pump-XUV-probe transient absorption experiment at the free-electron laser FLASH in Hamburg. The goal of our experiment is to determine how charge-rearrangement dynamics influence the dissociation of a molecule. In the experiments, we used small halogenated hydrocarbon molecules containing two iodine sites. We resonantly excited the 4d -> σ* transition with the first XUV pulse. This induces a breaking of one C-I bond. Shortly thereafter the exact same transition was probed with the second XUV pulse to investigate how the modified electronic environment can be accessed via the absorption spectrum of the dissociating molecule. To drive the experimental scheme the XUV pulses were split into two identical copies and the time delay between them was varied from -1 ps to +3 ps. In addition, we varied the intensity of the FEL pulses by attenuating the full beam with a nitrogen gas absorber.
