On the photofragmentation of SF$_2^+$: Experimental evidence for a predissociation channel (2008)
Zhang, Qun, Mao, Rui, Chen, Yang
We report on the first observation of the photofragmentation dynamics of SF$_2^+$. With the aid of state-of-the-art ab initio calculations on the low-lying excited cationic states of SF$_2^+$...
