摘要
Double‐electron‐capture reactions in which singly charged projectile ions A+ convert to negative ions A− in collisions with molecules M are endoergic. Non‐zero cross‐sections for the reactions occur when the endoergicities fall within a ‘reaction window’. The existence of a window for reactions with CH3Br molecules is demonstrated in this investigation by altering the population of ground and excited states of the resulting CH3Br2+ ions using three projectile ions, S+˙, OH+ and F+ which markedly alters the endoergicities of the double‐electron‐capture reactions. Analysis of the energy‐loss spectra indicates that the reaction window for CH3Br is between endoergicities of about 8 and 22 eV. Using F+ as the projectile ion, it is shown that the population of the more highly excited states of CH3Br2+ is enhanced. Copyright © 1990 Heyden & Son Limited
