Fig. 6: Calculated molecular motions of the three-body Coulomb explosion processes.

a, b C-trimer calculations for the intermolecular distance (R) as a function of time (a) and the molecular snapshots from 0 to 500 fs (b). c, d PD conformer calculations for the intermolecular distances R12, R23, and R13 as a function of time (c) and the molecular snapshots (d). Source data in Fig. 6a, c are provided as a source data file.
