Abstract
H atoms in H2O are rearranged by strong optical fields generated by intense 9.3 fs laser pulses to form H2+. This atomic rearrangement is ultrafast: It occurs within a single laser pulse. Quantum-chemical calculations reveal that H2+ originates in the 1A state of H2O2+ when the O-H bond elongates to 1.15 a.u. and the H-O-H angle becomes 120° . Bond formation on the ultrafast time scale of molecular vibrations (10 fs for H2+) and in strong fields has hitherto not been reported.
