Abstract

Ion-molecule reactions is a generic word for reactions involving ions (both positive and negative), radicals and stable neutrals. In this presentation, use of the flowing afterglow technique to study ion-molecule reactions at thermal energies is demonstrated using the examples of positive ion-negative ion mutual neutralization of molecular nitrogen ion (N +2 ) with F− and the reaction of atomic nitrogen with SF n (n=1 to 5) to form NF.
