Abstract
Symmetry breaking and competition between electronic decay and nuclear
dynamics are major factors determining whether the memory of the initial
core-hole localisation in a molecule is retained long enough to affect
fragmentation. We investigate the fate of core holes localised at
different sites in the free 1,3 trans butadiene molecule by
using synchrotron radiation to selectively excite core electrons from
different C 1s sites to π* orbitals. Fragmentation involving bonds
localised at the site of the core hole provides clear evidence for
preferential bond breaking for a core hole located at the terminal
carbon site, while the signature of localisation is weak for a vacancy
on the... (More)

on the central carbon site. The origin of this difference is attributed
to out-of-plane vibrations, and statistical evaporation of protons for
vacancies located at the central carbon sites. (Less)
