Abstract
This study investigates the formation dynamics of H<sub>3</sub><sup>+</sup> from ethane dication using a combined experimental and theoretical approach. The experiment, employing 300 eV electron impact ionization of ethane, reveals a significant yield of H<sub>3</sub><sup>+</sup> + C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>3</sub><sup>+</sup>. Quantum chemistry calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that H<sub>3</sub><sup>+</sup> formation occurs via transition state and roaming mechanisms on the ground-state potential energy surface of the ethane dication, with formation times ranging from 70 to 500 fs.
