Abstract:Reaction induced by slow electrons is implicated in a large field of research and applications. Below 3-4 eV, dissociative electron attachment efficiently fragments molecules via (1) shape resonance or (2) mediated by the formation of a dipole bound anion. While the temperature dependence of process 1 is well-known, that of 2 is not clearly established. Nitromethane is the prototypical molecule for which the electron attachment leads to the formation of both a dipole bound and a covalent anion. We provide here… Show more
