Ion-Molecule Reactions.
Abstract
The cross sections, threshold angular distribution and energy of the ionic product from the reaction C(+)(D2,D)cd(+) were investigated as a function of projectile ion energy. The cross sections for both the ground state and the first excited state reactions of B(+) with D2 were also measured as a function of B(+) kinetic energy. The electronic states of H2O(+) and H3O(+) produced by electron bombardment of water vapour were identified. Dynamics of the reaction H2O(+)(D2,D)H2DO(+) were studied and the cross section and threshold of the reaction H2O(+)(H2,H)H3(+) were measured. Similarly, the cross sections and the threshold of the reaction D3O(+)(D2,D2O)D3(+) were determined. These measurements permitted an accurate determination of the proton affinity of H2, D2 and D2O. A study of the dynamic of the reaction H2O(+)(H2O,OH)H3O(+) has been initiated. A number of mechanisms are indicated but the scheme is complex and has not as yet been completely unravelled. (Author)
