مستخلص: Strong-field ionization, involving tunnel ionization and electron rescattering, enables femtosecond time-resolved dynamics measurements of chemical reactions involving radical cations. Here, we compare the formation of CH3S+ following the strong-field ionization of the isomers CH3SCN and CH3NCS. The former involves the release of neutral CN, while the latter involves an intramolecular rearrangement. We find the intramolecular rearrangement takes place on a single picosecond timescale and exhibits vibrational coherence. Density functional theory and coupled-cluster calculations on the neutral and singly ionized species help us determine the driving force responsible for intramolecular rearrangement in CH3NCS. Our findings illustrate the complexity that accompanies radical cation chemistry following electron ionization and demonstrate a useful tool for understanding cation dynamics after ionization.
