We employ a two-sector-field mass spectrometer to identify sequential, unimolecular dissociation channels of C604+. In addition to sequential “monomer evaporations” (loss of two C2 units), we observe two novel sequential channels which involve fissionlike events: loss of C2+ followed by evaporation, and sequential loss of two C2+ units.
