Bond-forming and electron-transfer reactivity in the collisions of CF22+ with NH3
Karl A. Newson, Nurun Tafadar and Stephen D. Price
The ionic products formed in collisions between CF22+ and NH3 have been detected and identified as a function of the centre-of-mass collision energy (0.5–4 eV). Electron-transfer reactivity is found to be responsible for the major proportion of these product ions (CF2+, CF+, NH3+, NH2+ and C+) and their relative intensities can be rationalised by the use of Landau–Zener theory. This analysis indicates, in common with previous studies, that CF22+ beams contain ions in more than one long-lived electronic state. In addition to electron-transfer reactivity, a bond-forming reaction producing HNCF+ is also detected and isotopic labelling confirms that this weak product ion signal is indeed a result of collisions between CF22+ and NH3. The variation in the HNCF+ ion yield as a function of collision energy suggests that this bond-forming reaction proceeds via a different mechanism to the previously investigated
chemical
reaction between CF22+ and D2.
