Iodomethane has been extensively used as a model system to study photodissociation dynamics by ultraviolet (UV) light excitation. The molecule is prompted to rapid fragmentation along the C-I bond due to the repulsive character of the neutral states accessed by single UV photon absorption in the energy range of 4.1-5.4 eV. In this work, we used 4 fs UV pulses with central energy of 4.9 eV as a pump with delayed few-cycle infrared pulses, probing the dynamics via multi-photon ionization. The dynamics of methyl and iodine fragments allow us to track the field-free wavepacket evolution on the neutral states with unprecedented time resolution. Moreover, the experimental observations combined with a theoretical study revealed that the implementation of such ultrashort pulses allows for the production of an intact parent ion with a 5-fs lifetime, preventing molecular cleavage. This becomes possible only in a narrow time window close to the Frank-Condon regime before the dissociation takes place.
