Hydrogen migration processes in deuterated methanol (CH3OD) under the irradiation of ultrashort (30 fs) two color (400/800 nm) laser field have been investigated by means of time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The utilization of an asymmetric omega/2 omega laser field contributes to a better understanding of hydrogen migration processes. Based on the comparative study of the asymmetry dependence and the angular distributions of the H2D+, HOD+ and H2OD+ fragment ions, whose formation requires hydrogen migration, it was feasible to distinguish the most probable site of the molecular skeleton where the hydrogen migrates from.
