Abstract

Polar photodissociation of a set of bromo-chloro-alkanes in the vicinity of the Br 3d core edge has been observed for the first time. It is shown that negative photoion spectroscopy is a powerful tool for investigating the various decay mechanisms of core-excited molecules. Analysis of these results indicates that the observed polar photodissociation arises from two competing spectator Auger decay processes in which the molecule can dissociate either before or after the core hole relaxation.
