Complete imaging of the reaction pathways of ionized water dimer — •Luisa Blum1,2, Ivo S.

We applied a pure ensemble (92 %) of water dimer (H2O)2, spatially separated by electrostatic deflection, and subsequently ionized by strong-field ionization, to investigate the ion-radical chemistry of water clusters [1]. The direct observation of fragmentation channels of (H2O)2+ and (H2O)2+2 by multi-mass imaging reveals several yet unknown ion-radical pathways and provides a comprehensive picture of (H2O)2+/+2, including experimental branching ratios. Furthermore, the ion yields for the Coulomb explosion channels of (H2O)2+2 indicate electron-recollision-impact ionization as the dominant process, opening the discussion about avenues to control electron recollision and multiple-ionization processes in supramolecular complexes. The study of the (H2O)2+/+2 ionization fragmentation process is highly relevant to ion-radical heterogeneous chemistry occurring on ice mantles in the Earth’s atmosphere and in interstellar space [2].
