The photodissociation dynamics of UV excited CS2 are investigated using time-resolved Auger–Meitner (AM) spectroscopy. AM decay is initiated by inner-shell ionisation with a femtosecond duration x-ray (179.9 eV) probe generated by the FERMI free electron laser. The time-delayed x-ray probe removes an electron from the S(2p) orbital leading to secondary emission of a high energy electron through AM decay. We monitor the electron kinetic energy of the AM emission as a function of pump-probe delay and observe time-dependent changes in the spectrum that correlate with the formation of bound, excited-state CS2 molecules at early times, and CS + S fragments on the picosecond timescale. The results are analysed based on a simplified kinetic scheme that provides a time constant for dissociation of approximately 1.2 ps, in agreement with previous time-resolved x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements (Gabalski, et al 2023 J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 14 7126–7133).
