A comparative study of bond rearrangement is reported for the double ionization of three triatomic molecules: carbon dioxide, carbonyl sulfide, and water (). Specifically, we study the formation of the molecular cationfrom the edge atoms of a triatomic molecular dicationfollowing double ionization by intense, short (23 fs, 790 nm) laser pulses. The comparison is made using the double ionization branching ratio of each molecule, thereby minimizing differences due to differing ionization rates. The rearrangement branching ratio is highest for water, which has a bent initial geometry, whileand OCS are linear molecules. The angular distribution offragments arising fromis essentially isotropic, whilefrom OCS andfromare aligned with the laser polarization. In theandcases, the angular distributions of the bond rearrangement channels are different from the angular distributions of the dominant dissociative double ionization channelsand. Only the angular distribution offrom OCS is both aligned with the laser polarization and similar to the angular distribution of the largest dissociative channel,. The mixed behavior observed from the angular distributions of the different molecules stands in contrast to the relative consistency of the magnitude of the bond rearrangement branching ratio.
