a, b ionization of THF·THF (a) and H2O·THF (b) dimers and subsequent dissociation to C4H8O·C2H4O+ and H2O·C2H4O+ channels, respectively. c, d ionization of THF monomer and subsequent dissociation to C2H4O+ (c) and C4H7O+, and non-dissociated C4H8O+ (d) channels. The vertical lines on the top of the figure are the valence orbital ionization energies of the THF monomer. HOMO refers to the highest occupied molecular orbital. The statistical error bars shown correspond to the 1σ confidence interval. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
