Abstract

By referring to our recent studies conducted using the coincidence momentum imaging method, experimental evidences of the ultrafast hydrogen migration are shown. For allene (CH2 = C=CH2) the momentum correlation maps and proton distribution maps of triply charged allene constructed from the observed momentum vectors of fragment ions revealed that the spatial distribution of the migrating hydrogen atom (or proton) covers the entire range of an allene molecule. It was also revealed that the hydrogen migration plays a decisive role in breaking selectively chemical bonds within molecules, showing its potential applications for chemical reaction controls. For methanol, it was shown that there are two distinctively different stages in the hydrogen migration processes in singly charged methanol, i.e., ultrafast hydrogen migration occurring within the intense laser field ( ∼ 38 fs), and slower postlaser pulse hydrogen migration ( ∼ 150 fs), showing quantum mechanical nature of light protons.
