The behavior of benzene, benzene derivatives, and PAHs in strong laser fields has been investigated for decades. The general fragmentation patterns of PAHs are very similar: at lower peak field intensities (∼ 10 13 W/cm 2 ) 9 , only single ionization is visible in the MS. As the peak power is increased, a rise of the parent monocation formation as well as the formation of the parent dication and monocationic and dicationic fragments are observed. At high peak powers (∼ 10 14 W/cm 2 ), trications and even tetracations occur in the MS for PAHs. In the first set of experiments, in which FLU was subjected to IR pulses of variable intensity, we also observed this ubiquitous behavior, which can be seen in Figure . We see the production of the highly-charged parent species up to the trication (FLU 3+ ), as well as a subsequent rise in the production of the fragment ions upon increasing the IR pulse peak power. The production of various fragments varies depending on the species. For instance, the parent monocationic species (FLU + ), such as C 13 H + and C 13 H 2+ 10 , monotonously increase with the rise of the IR pulse peak power. However, the highly-charged species, such as the parent trication (FLU 3+ ), appear only as a threshold power of about 4 × 10 13 W/cm 2 is reached (see ESI for details). This suggests that there might be an interplay of MPI and TI strong-field ionization regimes, as discussed in the literature. The photoelectron spectrum (PES) of FLU averaged over all pump-probe delays (∼ 2 ps in total) is shown in Figure . The experimental results clearly show above threshold ionization (ATI) features as distinct peaks with equal spacing corresponding to the photon energy of the IR pulse (1.5 eV). The ATI peaks were fitted using the expression
