The energy flow and fragmentation dynamics of N,N-dimethylisopropylamine (DMIPA) upon excitation to the 3p Rydberg states has been investigated with use of time-resolved photoelectron and mass spectrometry. The 3p states are short-lived, with a lifetime of 701 ± 45 fs. From the time dependence of th...
