Dissociative electron attachment and Ar+ reaction with chromium hexacarbonyl, 296-400 K

Abstract

Dissociative electron attachment rate constants have been measured for Cr(CO)6 under thermal conditions, 296-400 K, yielding Cr(CO)5- product. At 296 K, 2.92 ± 0.70 cm3 s-1 was measured and a small decrease with temperature was observed (2.72 ± 0.70 cm3 s-1 at 400 K). We additionally determined the cation products of Ar+ reacting with Cr(CO)6.
