Abstract
The electron-ion dissociative recombination rate coefficients, alpha e, have been determined for ten molecular ions, seven of which have not previously been measured. The data were obtained under truly thermal conditions at 300 K using a flowing afterglow/Langmuir probe (FALP) apparatus. Recombination coefficients were obtained for the following ions: CO2+ ( alpha e=3.1*10-7 cm3 s-1), N2+ (2.0), CO+ (1.6), KrH+ (<0.2), XeH+ (<0.4), HSO2+ (2.7), CH3CNH+ (3.3), CH3CHOH+ (3.9), C2H5CNH+ (4.7) and ((CH3)2CO)2H+ (14). The dissociative recombination of many of the ions studied may be important in planetary, cometary and terrestrial atmospheres and be involved in the synthesis of interstellar molecules.
