Imaging the Dynamics of the Electron Ionization of C₂F₆.

ABSTRACT: The dissociation of C₂F₆ following electron ionization at 100 eV has been studied using multimass velocity-map ion imaging and covariance-map imaging analysis. Single ionization events form parent C₂F₆⁺ cations in an ensemble of electronic states, which follow a multiplex of relaxation pathways to eventually dissociate into ionic and neutral fragment products. We observe CF₃⁺, CF₂⁺, CF⁺, C⁺, F⁺, C₂F₅⁺, C₂F₄⁺, C₂F₂⁺, and C₂F⁺ ions, all of which can reasonably be formed from singly charged parent ions. Dissociation along the C-C bond typically
