Low Energy Ion-Neutral Reactions. V. O₂⁺+NO, N₂⁺+NO, CO⁺+NO, N₂⁺+O₂, CO₂⁺+O₂, CO⁺+O₂ and N₂⁺+CO

Abstract

Asymmetric charge transfer reactions between molecular ions and molecules; O 2 + –NO, N 2 + –NO, CO + –NO, N 2 + –O 2 , CO 2 + –O 2 , CO + –O 2 and N 2 + –CO were studied by an injected-ion drift tube technique in the energy range from 0.04 eV to 3 eV. For the reaction in the system O 2 + –NO, the processes O 2 + (X 2 \(\varPi_{\text{g}}\))+NO→O 2 +NO + and O 2 + (\(a^{4}\varPi_{\text{u}}\))+NO→O 2 +NO + were distinguished and each cross section was determined separately.
