Samples of 2-propanol monomer with a purity of 90% and a beam density of 7×106cm−3 were obtained. These samples were utilized to study the femtosecond-laser-induced strong-field multi-photon ionization and fragmentation of 2-propanol using non-resonant 800 nm light with peak intensities of 3–7×1013W/cm2.Graphical abstract
