abstract = {Photoionization can initiate structural reorganization of
molecular matter and drive formation of new chemical bonds.
Here, we used time-resolved extreme ultraviolet (EUV) pump
– EUV probe Coulomb explosion imaging of carbon dioxide
dimer ion $(CO_2)_2^+$dynamics, that combined with ab initio
molecular dynamics simulations, revealed unexpected
asymmetric structural rearrangement. We show that ionization
by the pump pulse induces rearrangement from the
slipped-parallel (C$_{2h}$) geometry of the neutral $CO_2$
dimer towards a T-shaped (C$_{2v}$) structure on the
~100 fs timescale, although the most stable
slipped-parallel (C$_{2h}$) structure of the ionic dimer.
Moreover, we find that excited states of the ionized $CO_2$
dimer can exhibit formation of a $CO_3$ moiety in the
$CO_2O_4^+$ complex that can persist even after a suitably
time-delayed second photoionization in a metastable
$CO_2O_4^+$ dication. Our results suggest that charge
asymmetry plays an important role in the ionization-induced
dynamics in such dimers that are present in $C_2$ rich
environments.},
