Journal of physics / B 55(1), 014001 (2022). doi:10.1088/1361-6455/ac489d, The ultraviolet (UV)-induced dissociation and photofragmentation of gas-phase CH$_2$BrI molecules induced by intense femtosecond extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses at three different photon energies are studied by multi-mass ion imaging. Using a UV-pump���XUV-probe scheme, charge transfer between highly charged iodine ions and neutral CH$_2$Br radicals produced by C���I bond cleavage is investigated. In earlier charge-transfer studies, the center of mass of the molecules was located along the axis of the bond cleaved by the pump pulse. In the present case of CH$_2$BrI, this is not the case, thus inducing a rotation of the fragment. We discuss the influence of the rotation on the charge transfer process using a classical over-the-barrier model. Our modeling suggests that, despite the fact that the dissociation is slower due to the rotational excitation, the critical interatomic distance for charge transfer is reached faster. Furthermore, we suggest that charge transfer during molecular fragmentation may be modulated in a complex way., Published by IOP Publ., Bristol
