Abstract
The use of the Coulomb explosion technique combined with a radically new multiparticle detector, extremely thin film targets, and low-excitation ion source has enabled, for the first time, direct measurements of the complete stereostructure of complex polyatomic molecular ions. We outline the methods used and present results for protonated acetylene (C 2H 3 +) and the methane cation (CH 4 +) as examples. We demonstrate the techniques by which these methods can be generalized to determine directly vibrational motions in polyatomic molecules.
