  "abstract": "We investigated strong-field dissociative ionization of $\\mathrm{CF_2I_2}$ ensembles prepared in different initial rotational-state distributions using an electrostatic deflector. Pronounced changes in ion-channel branching ratios revealed a strong dependence of the fragmentation dynamics on the initial rotational excitation. Analysis of fragment yields and their laser-power dependences identifies resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization through an intermediate excited state, $\\mathrm{CF_2I_2^{\\ast}}$. The measured branching behavior indicates competition between stabilization into bound ionic states and dissociative channels, driven by near-threshold non-adiabatic Coriolis-type coupling. Tuning the rotational energy by only a few $μ$eV is sufficient to significantly alter the ionization dynamics and to redistribute the reaction products. These findings demonstrate the key role of rotational excitation in controlling non-adiabatic dynamics following strong-field ionization of $\\mathrm{CF_2I_2}$.",
