Abstract
Radiationless relaxation of open-shell polyatomic cations which decay radiatively has been studied quantitatively under collision-free conditions by means of photoelectron-photon coincidence measurements. These yield directly the fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes of the cation with selected energy within the excited state. The results are illustrated by examples for three categories of cations: of triatomic s undergoing predissociation, those characteristic of the statistical limit and those showing a pronounced quasi-biexponential decay.
