Thermal energy charge transfer reactions: Kinetic and internal energy of the products
Abstract
Non dissociative charge transfer reactions from the (P sub 3/2)2 ground state of Ar(+), Kr(+) and Xe(+) with several small molecules were investigated at near thermal energy. In most of these systems, a substantial kinetic energy release was observed. The internal energy of the products was determined. It is shown that molecular products are usually formed in high vibrational levels of the electronic ground state with a rather narrow vibrational distribution.
