Notes:
Photoion-photoion coincidence spectra of benzene and benzene-d6 photoionized by He(II) light and synchrotron radiation show the existence of six major and eight minor charge-separation reactions of the [C6H6]2+ ion. Three main groups of ion pairs are related to [C3H3]+ + [C3H3]+, [C2H3]+ + [C4H3]+ and [CH3]+ + [C5H3]+, with appearance energies of 32.2 ± 0.5 eV, 31.3 ± 0.5 eV and 28.4 ± 0.3 eV. The kinetic energy release is the same for all pairs within a group, irrespective of hydrogen number, but differs from group to group. Results are interpreted in terms of fast, direct charge separation of [C6H6]2+, and subsequent hydrogen loss by the singly charged fragments.
