Studies of ultrafast molecular dynamics induced by intense laser fields can reveal new approaches to manipulating chemical reactions in the strong-field regime. Here, we show that intense few-cycle laser pulses can induce the spin–orbit state-selective C–I dissociation of the iodomethane cation (CH3...
