First, let us discuss the dynamics of the parent ions, given in Table . Unlike before, with the IR pump, we see short-lived transients in the monocations, corresponding to the lifetime of excited neutral FLU. We observed the transient peaks in both the intact parent FLU monocation (C 13 H + 10 ) and in its monodehydrogenated version (C 13 H + 9 ). The lifetime extracted from the C 13 H + 9 ion yield is 30 fs longer than the lifetime from C 13 H + 10 , which is most likely a sign of the unresolved delay for the loss of hydrogen. The lifetime of the near-threshold FLU + observed in the yield of the parent dication C 13 H 2+ 10 is longer than for the excited neutral. This could be due to a larger density of the excited states with the increase of the charge state. The fitted lifetimes of the near-ionization-threshold FLU dication FLU 2+ , observed through the pump-probe dependent IY of C 13 H 3+ 10 , revealed a significantly shortened lifetime (42 ± 6 fs), compared to those obtained with the XUV pump (126 ± 16 in the XUV-IR experiment and 184 ± 44 fs in XUV-VIS). This drastic difference probably arises from a difference in the distribution of the population of the FLU 2+ excited states obtained in the strong-field and single-XUV-photon ionization regimes.
