Abstract
H2 roaming is associated with H3 + formation when certain organic molecules are exposed to strong laser fields. Here, the mechanistic details and time-resolved dynamics of H3 + formation from a series of alcohols were obtained and found that the product yield decreases as the carbon chain length increases.
