Abstract
Dissociative double-photoionization of butadiene in the 25-45 eV energy range has been studied

with tunable synchrotron radiation using full three-dimensional ion momentum imaging. Using ab

initio calculations, the electronic states of the molecular dication below 33 eV are identified. The

results of the measurement and calculation show that double ionization from π orbitals selectively

triggers twisting about the terminal or central C–C bonds. We show that this conformational rearrangement

depends upon the dication electronic state, which effectively acts as a gateway for the

dissociation reaction pathway. For photon energies above 33 eV, three-body dissociation channels

where neutral H-atom evaporation precedes C–C charge-separation in the dication species appear in

the correlation map. The fragment angular distributions support a model where the dication species

is initially aligned with the molecular backbone parallel to the polarization vector of the light,

indicating a high probability for double-ionization to the “gateway states” for molecules with this orientation. (Less)
