Collisional Excitation and Ionization
Abstract
Ion-scattering apparatuses were utilized to investigate the kinetics, dynamics and energy transfer characteristics of selected positive- and negative- ion neutral reactions. Thresholds for endothermic electron transfer reactions involving O3, N2O, CO2, and other atmospheric molecules were determined, and these data were used to determine electron affinities of these species. Similarly, thresholds for collision-induced dissociation reactions of O3, CO3, NO3 ions, and other atmospheric negative ions were determined, and ionic bond dissociation energies, heats of formation and electron affinities were derived from these resutls.
