Abstract
Using ethylene (C2H4) as an example, we experimentally demonstrate control of complex fragmentation reactions that involve the breakage of more than one chemical bond using ultrashort intense laser pulses with pulse durations from 4.5 fs to 25 fs. We show that the dynamics of removing three electrons by strong-field ionization determines the ratio of fragmentation of the molecular trication into two respectively three moieties.
