Abstract
Specificity of the dissociative attachment of low-energy electrons to ecdysteroid molecules (viz., 20-hydroxyecdysone 2,3:20,22-diacetonide, 20-hydroxyecdysone 20,22-acetonide, and poststerone 2-acetate) was found, which is manifested as the formation of long-lived pseudo-molecular negative ions that appeared due to the elimination of the H2 and H2O molecules. These rearrangements are resulted from the formation of the system of conjugated double bonds in the ecdysteroid skeleton, stabilizing the lowest vacant molecular orbital.
