Z. Dolejsek et al., DYNAMICS OF CHEMICAL-REACTIONS OF DOUBLY-CHARGED IONS - CF2D-2( FORMATION IN COLLISIONS OF CF22+ AND D), Chemical physics letters, 235(1-2), 1995, pp. 99-104
The dynamics of the formation of the chemical rearrangement product CF
2D+ and the charge transfer product CF2+ in collisions of the dication
CF22 with D-2 was investigated in a crossed-beam scattering experimen
t at a collision energy of 0.6 eV (c.m.). The scattering diagrams obta
ined show that both products are formed in impulsive processes in whic
h Coulomb repulsion between two singly charged products, CF2D+ + D+ an
d CF2+ + D-2(+), respectively, plays a dominant role. The energy parti
tioning of the total energy available in these highly exoergic process
es is about half in the relative translation and about half in the int
ernal energy (electronic and/or vibrational).
