Chem. Phys. 134, 114309 (2011); 10.1063/1.3567071 Unimolecular decay pathways of state-selected CO 2 + in the internal energy range of 5.2-6.2 eV: An experimental and theoretical study State-selected photodissociation dynamics of CS 2 ϩ molecular ion has been investigated by an optical-optical double resonance technique. The CS 2 ϩ molecular ions were prepared by ͓2ϩ1͔ REMPI and the predissociative C 2 ⌺ g ϩ state was populated by the B 2 ⌺ u ϩ ←X 2 ⌸ g,3/2 followed byThe product branching ratios, CS ϩ /S ϩ , for selected vibrational levels in the C state and average kinetic energy releases in the CS ϩ and S ϩ production channels were measured from the time-of-flight mass spectra. It has been found that excitation of the bending vibration enhances the CS ϩ production channel more than the S ϩ channel. In addition, an isotropic fragment distribution for different polarizations of the dissociating laser light has been observed, from which the dissociation time was estimated to be longer than 20 ps. Dynamical aspect of the reaction revealed by the present investigation is discussed together with the previous spectroscopic results.
