We follow the evolution of a vibrational wave packet in a highly excited state of the halogenated methane . We observe how the wave packet modulates both dissociation and concerted elimination to form and , respectively. We present a simple and intuitive interpretation of the molecular dynamics leading to the formation of the products.
