We have investigated nuclear dynamics in bound and dissociating acetylene molecular ions in a time-resolved reaction microscopy experiment with a pair of few-cycle pulses. Different ionization processes were observed for acetylene. These time-dependent ionization processes are simulated using semi-classical on-the-fly dynamics revealing the underling mechanisms.
