The dissociative multiple photoionization of germanium tetrachloride (GeCl4) in the Ge(3d,3p,3s) and Cl(2p,2s) inner-shell regions has been studied by using time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry coupled to synchrotron radiation in the range 88similar to1006 eV. Total and individual photoion yields have been recorded as a function of the incident photon energy. Discrete resonances owing to the Ge(3p) --> (9a(1))* and the Ge(3s) --> (11t(2))* transitions are observed as doublet and singlet features, respectively. The inner-shell excitation spectrum is dominated by overlapped numerous discrete resonances of the Cl(2p) inner-shell electron, arising from the large overlap of the valence state wave function with the initial inner-shell state one. Prominent ion intensities of Cl+, Ge+, and GeCl+ are detected along with low-intensity Cl2+, GeCl2+, and GeCln+ (n = 2-4) ions in the whole energy range examined. Dissociation processes have also been investigated by photoelectron-photoion coincidence (PEPICO) and photoion-photoion coincidence (PIPICO) methods. The triple and quadruple photoionization of GeCl4 is found to dominantly occur above the Cl(2p) edge, leading to the exclusive formation of the GeCln+ (n = 0, 1) + nCl(+) (n = 2-3) channels.
