Anomalously Large Chiral Sensitivity in the Dissociative Electron Attachment of 10-Iodocamphor.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have studied dissociative electron attachment (DEA) between low energy (≤0.6 eV) longitudinally polarized electrons and gas-phase chiral targets of 3-bromocamphor (C_{10}H_{15}BrO), 3-iodocamphor (C_{10}H_{15}IO), and 10-iodocamphor. The DEA rate depends on the sign of the incident electron helicity for a given target handedness, and it varies with both the atomic number (Z) and location of the heaviest atom in the molecule. While simple dynamic mechanisms can account for the asymmetry dependence on Z, they fail to explain the large asymmetry variation with the heavy atom location.

Pressure and temperature dependence of dissociative and non-dissociative electron attachment to CF3: experiments and kinetic modeling.
The kinetics of electron attachment to CF(3) as a function of temperature (300-600 K) and pressure (0.75-2.5 Torr) were studied by variable electron and neutral density attachment mass spectrometry exploiting dissociative electron attachment to CF(3)Br as a radical source. Attachment occurs through competing dissociative (CF(3) + e(-) → CF(2) + F(-)) and non-dissociative channels (CF(3) + e(-) ...
متن کاملUse of heavy-Rydberg ion-pair states to probe dissociative electron attachment
Electron transfer in collisions between Rydberg atoms and targets that attach free low-energy electrons can lead to the formation of heavy-Rydberg ion-pair states comprising a positive-negative ion pair that orbit each other at large separations weakly bound by their mutual electrostatic attraction. It is shown that measurements of the velocity distribution of the ion-pair states produced in su...

Wadehra JM. Rovibrationally enhanced dissociative electron attachment to molecular lithium. We have investigated the role played by initial rovibrational excitation of Liz on the cross sections and rates for dissociative electron attachment to the molecule. For a given internal energy, the vi-brational excitation enhances the attachment cross section more than the rotational excitation, The att...
متن کاملAbsolute dissociative electron attachment cross sections in acetylene and its deuterated analogue.
An instrument for the measurement of absolute dissociative electron attachment cross sections was constructed and applied to two prototype molecules, acetylene (C2H2) and deuterated acetylene (C2D2). The isotope effect at the first dissociative electron attachment band at 3 eV was determined--the cross section for C2D-/C2D2 is 14.4 times smaller than that for C2H-/C2H2. The results play a centr...
متن کاملSuppression of low-energy dissociative electron attachment in Fe(CO)5 upon clustering
In this work, we probe anion production upon electron interaction with Fe(CO)5 clusters using two complementary cluster-beam setups. We have identified two mechanisms that lead to synthesis of complex anions with mixed Fe/CO composition. These two mechanisms are operative in distinct electron energy ranges. It is shown that the elementary decomposition mechanism that has received perhaps the mo...
