The nature of the electron-binding forces in the dipole-bound states (DBS) of anions is interrogated through experimental and theoretical means by investigating the autodetachment dynamics from DBS Feshbach resonances of ortho-, meta-, and para-bromophenoxide (BrPhO-). Though the charge-dipole electrostatic potential has been widely regarded to be mainly responsible for the electron binding in DBS, the effect of nonclassical electron correlation has been conceived to be quite significant in terms of its static and/or dynamic contributions toward the binding of the excess electron to the neutral core. State-specific real-time autodetachment dynamics observed by picosecond time-resolved photoelectron velocity-map imaging spectroscopy reveal that the autodetachment processes from the DBS Feshbach resonances of BrPhO- anions cannot indeed be rationalized by the conventional charge-dipole potential. Specifically, the autodetachment lifetime is drastically lengthened depending on differently positioned Br-substitution, and this rate change cannot be explained within the framework of Fermi's golden rule based on the charge-dipole assumption. High-level ab initio quantum chemical calculations with EOM-EA-CCSD, which intrinsically takes into account electron correlations, generate more reasonable predictions on the binding energies than density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and semiclassical quantum dynamics simulations based on the EOM-EA-CCSD data excellently predict the trend in the autodetachment rates. These findings illustrate that static and dynamic properties of the excess electron in the DBS are strongly influenced by correlation interactions among electrons in the nonvalence orbital of the dipole-bound electron and highly polarizable valence orbitals of the bromine atom, which, in turn, dictate the interesting chemical fate of exotic anion species.
