Polyatomic molecules provide a still richer environment for studying phase control, where coupling between different dissociation channels can occur. Indeed, one of the original motivations for studying coherent control was to develop a means for bond-selective chemistry [25]. The first example of bond-selective two-pathway interference is the dissociation of dimethyl-sulfide to yield either H or CH3 fragments [74]. The peak in Fig. 11 is indicative of a resonance embedded in an elastic continuum (case 4). 

In a series of elegant experiments Crim and coworkers [132, 133] have managed to effect bond selective chemistry for reaction (79)...
