We present a theoretical quasiclassical treatment of the formation, during Coulomb explosion, highly excited neutral H atoms (${\text{H}}^{*}$) for strongly driven ${\text{H}}_{2}$. This process, where after laser field is turned off, one electron escapes to continuum while other occupies Rydberg state, was recently reported in an experimental study [B. Manschwetus et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 113002 (2009)]. find that two-electron effects are important order correctly account all pathways...
