Ultrafast tunnel ionization enables femtosecond time-resolved dynamic measurements of the retro-Diels–Alder reactions of positively charged cyclohexene, norbornene, and dicyclopentadiene. Unlike the reaction times of 500–600 ps that are observed following UV excitation of neutral species, on the ionic potential energy surfaces, these reactions occur on a single picosecond timescale and, in some cases, exhibit vibrational coherence. In the case of norbornene, a 270 cm^–1 vibrational mode is found to modulate the retro-Diels–Alder reaction.
