New data are presented on the resonant Auger decay of iodobenzene (C6H5I) in the region of the I 4d–1 ionization threshold. The excited molecules decay by participator and spectator processes to populate single-hole valence states and two-hole, one-particle excited states of the cation, providing new information on the structure of C6H5I+. Excitation of dissociative C6H5I (I 4d5/2,3/2–1)σ* resonances can, in principle, result in ultrafast dissociation to C6H5 + I** and the subsequent autoionization of I**, but no evidence for this process is observed. Finally, the results are compared with our recent study of the resonant Auger decay of methyl iodide (CH3I).
