ABSTRACT

The potential diagram of the ground state molecule and negative ion are shown in Figure 81.2 (Drexel et al., 2003). The electron affinity of the molecule is observed to be positive.

Attachment occurs according to processes (Suresh et al., 2003)

C2Cl4 + e → C2Cl4-* → C2Cl3 + Cl-(81.1)

C2Cl4 + e → C2Cl4-* → C2Cl4 + e (81.2)

Reaction 81.1 is dissociative attachment, Reaction 81.2 is autodetachment, and Reaction 81.3 is direct attachment
