All the experiments were conducted at the vacuum ultraviolet beamline of the Swiss Light Source, which is a synchrotron photon source offering easy tunability. In this thesis, three studies are presented which combine experimental and computational ab initio approaches. The first study involves the fast dissociation of halogenated methanes in order to construct a self-consistent thermochemical network. The second study investigates the fragmentations of fluoroethenes from timebombs, which break apart very slowly but explosively, to fast dissociators. The third study uncovers how vital conical interactions underpin both the results of photoelectron spectra and dissociation patterns.The details included in this work are useful for researchers in the same field as well as those readers wishing to obtain a solid introduction into the types of systems encountered in threshold photoelectron photoion coincidence spectroscopy. 410 0$aSpringer theses. 606 $aPhotoelectron spectroscopy 606 $aDissociation 606 $aHalocarbons 615 0$aPhotoelectron spectroscopy. 615 0$aDissociation. 615 0$aHalocarbons. 676 $a539 700 $aHarvey$b Jonelle$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01059174 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298637403321 996 $aModelling the Dissociation Dynamics and Threshold Photoelectron Spectra of Small Halogenated Molecules$92504524 997 $aUNINA
