Decomposition and ionization reactions of neat liquid alkanes, alcohols, water, and halomethanes after UV‐two‐photon absorption were investigated by pump‐and‐probe measurements with subpicosecond time resolution. Previous suggestions are revised and new mechanisms proposed which consistently explain the transient absorption signals obtained. In particular, it is shown that the importance of free or “quasi‐free” electrons as intermediates in the photodecomposition of liquids has commonly been largely overestimated.
