Ionic Reactions of Atmospheric Importance.

Abstract

A variable-temperature flowing afterglow/Langmuir probe (VT-FALP) apparatus has been used to study several electron-ion dissociative recombination reactions and several electron attachment reactions. Thus the variation with temperature of the respective dissociative recombination coefficients, alpha and electron attachment coefficients, beta have been determined. The recombination studies have included the species 02+, NO+, NH4+, H3, HC0+, N2H+ and CH5+, and the attachment studies have included the species CC14, CC13F, CC12F2, CHC13, C12, SF6, C-C7F14, CH3Br, CF3Br, CH2Br2 and CH3I. Some ion molecule reactions have also been studied as a function of temperature and of ion-molecule centre-of mass energy usign a variable-temperature selective ion flow drift tube (VT-SIFDT).
