Intermediate mass fragments (IMF) and light particles emitted from the {sup 58}Ni+{sup 58}Ni reaction at a beam energy of 375 MeV have been studied. The fragments and light particles were measured in coincidence with 4{pi} {gamma}-ray spectrometer. The Z=6 (C) kinetic energy spectra and the distribution of the final nuclei in coincidence with the emitted C are well described by Hauser-Feshbach calculations extended to many channels. A detailed study of C-{gamma} and 3{alpha}-{gamma} correlations indicate a strong selectivity of the IMF decay. Our results indicate that the IMF can populate nuclei that are not accessible via multiple light particle (Z{lt}3) emission and, thus, are useful for nuclear structure studies. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
