Abstract

Time-of-flight mass spectrometry reveals that atomic and small molecular triply charged cations exhibit extensive bond-forming chemistry, following gas-phase collisions with neutral molecules. These experiments show that at collision energies of a few eV, I3+ reacts with a variety of small molecules to generate molecular monocations and molecular dications containing iodine. Xe3+ and CS23+ react in a similar manner to I3+, undergoing bond-forming reactions with neutrals. A simple model, involving relative product energetics and electrostatic interaction potentials, is used to account for the observed reactivity.
